@jazzjckrbt @lulubrook63 The true #tropicalwhitemorningglory is the true,moonflower name. It has large,bigger than your hand, fragrant white blooms that open at night as cyndi had discribed. They close in the morning,to start forming huge pods the will hold 2 to 4 large white seeds. I have the this flower on my page if u want to look😁

Felicia,I didn't know if U've been lucky enough to see the moth which loves these are called the #hummingbirdhawkmoth They come out at night and feed on these fragrant blooms. I have been lucky just once to catch it feed on mine. I have a pic on my page of another type I was so lucky to catch feeding on my zinnas this yr. Nature is so surprising😍

My Morning glories and Moon flower vines are growing like crazy, although no blooms yet...but an abundance of hungry caterpillars gobbling up everything

Put a ring of coffee grounds around each plant, this really helps keep alot of the crawlers out.

@Acetaker mine are white too...well if they will ever bloom.lol it should be any day now. (Fingers crossed) the coffee grounds help a lot...I also put cinnamon and red pepper flakes around them too.
