This is - rather odd.
Yesterday afternoon I noticed that the morning glories I'd planted in some small square terra-cotta pots in a tray and raised indoors had put out another bloom, although the seedheads had already dried and I'd collected as many seeds as there were.
I'd kept on watering it to keep the dirt from drying out, and the wildflowers that had grown there too have been blooming on and off, those clear blue ones with the yellow stamens and leggy sprawling stems and long leaves. But I was not expecting the morning glories themselves to bloom again until I planted the seeds I'd harvested.
Let alone for said bloom to be open, trumpetlike, in the early afternoon on a winter's day, nor still to be open now as I look into the diningroom and see its silhouette against the growing gray dawn outside.
It is a rather striking old-fashioned variety, small compared to the modern popular breeds, with dark reddish-purple flowers and a blue-violet tinge at the throat where it fades to white. My mother says that the indoor lights being on at all hours must have confused it into staying open at all hours -- I think there are deeper/darker forces at play in this......>:)
