September brings with it cooler weather as the autumn season begins. This is the time where certain flowers make their final appearance before the winter months set in. When you look at a Morning Glory carefully you will see a special kind of beauty that this special flower has. These tubular flowers open up into gorgeous, circular, blue flowers that seem to have been painted with a black star and a bright pink center. Some varieties have cream color centers while others do not have the black star effect but rather have petals that are edged with white. According to history those from the Victorian era believed that the Morning Glory signified love and affection, however the message was often times representative of unanswered love thanks to the short blooming period of the flower.
