Well, when I replanted, I had used some leftover Schultz Potting Soil Plus that had been sitting outside on my balcony for probably 2 years (since my last failed attempt at growing something). The top of the bag wasn't fully sealed anymore, so I figured that any fertilizer had probably leached out from the rain over the years. Apparently not. The additional seeds I added sprouted up amazingly fast and were thriving better than the 2 vines I'd replanted in the first place. I was impressed.
Anyway, I have still managed, in typical Tami fashion, to conveniently "forget" the plant existed

Anyway, the thriving bits are suddenly budding all over the place. I'm excited by this (it doesn't take much, does it?) The shot above is a picture of a few buds taken Friday night (when I actually remembered to water the plant, and noticed the darling buds

The next picture is the larger bud as of this afternoon. It's a really deep fuschia color, and looks like it's going to be really pretty. I didn't think morning glories came in that color. I thought they were all blue with white in the centers. But, what do I know? (Oh, and I couldn't get any good shots of the purpley part.)

Sometimes plants are best left alone to their own devices.
See? It's the Little Morning Glory That Could! (Ithinkicanithinkican...) I can see the flower trying to emerge! Hope you'll photograph it again when it fully blooms! Three cheers for Tami, our budding (no pun intended) gardener!
Yea!!!!!!
That is sooo cool! I look forward to finding out what color they will be!!
Some plants favor benign neglect. My mom had a very fussy spikey sort of plant which doesn't like to bloom. The one time it did, was a while after she had us, and the plant had been neglected for quite a while. :)
She still kills geraniums though!
Yeah, as I've found out - when I leave for several days, my plants do really really really well. When I'm around, they threaten death.
My morning glories, and I have them entirely covering the fence on two sides of the yard, all bud in a bright fushia color and then open to the deep purple we all know and love. 8-]
