Flower for the Day Moonvine 8-16-24

As I have indicated we did not put in morning glories this year but got a few anyway from the previous 

years. We did plant some moonvine (Ipomoea alba) seeds. We had huge leaves until last week when the entire 

lower four feet of the moonvine leaves around the porch post were eaten by the deer in one night - the

leaves  and not all the vine. Several evenings later we have begun to have the beautiful flowers.

Here we are early in the evening.

And here we are in pitch dark.

Ipomoea alba is known as moonvine, moonflower, and tropical white morning glory. It is a species of night blooming 

morning glory. The leaves are large and three-lobed (up to 6 inches wide). The flowers are huge (up to 6 inches in diameter). They open quickly in the evening and last through the night, remaining open until touched by the morning dew. 

Moonvine

She is a moonvine, 
Blooms in a moonlight 
Delicate like soft petals 
Making the world pleasing.

Paying no attention to her tenderness
Giving out her love to the world
She bears her wounds 
Hate being enarvated
Loneliness is her fear 
Her heart feels dejected
Trying to hold her tears
Sacrifice became her habit
She began to become undesirful
Often got lost into her world
Still keeps a warm smile
moonlight Became her hopelight

She is a moonvine, which
Blooms in a moonlight
