Morning glory stage

Morning glory blossoms from June to October and blossoms in some places from April to May. It usually opens at 4-5 o'clock in the morning and withered at about noon. This is because its flowers are large and thin, and the flowers are rich in water. When the sun shines, the water in the flowers will evaporate and dry in a short time, so they wither. If you are in a shady place, the flowers will wither more slowly, sometimes still blooming in the afternoon.

1. What color is morning glory?

There are many varieties of morning glory, the color is not used, there are generally white, blue, scarlet, pink, purple blue and so on, axillary flowers, single or usually 2 planted on the top of the peduncle, the shape of a funnel-shaped, trumpet-shaped.

2. Will morning glory change color?

Morning glory will change color, because there is a pigment in morning glory, this pigment will change color when it meets different liquids. According to a report in the British journal Nature, the color of morning glory flowers is not only related to the pigments and metal ions contained in the cells, but also affected by the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid in the cell vacuoles, which is a bubble-like structure in the cytoplasm. It is surrounded by a vacuolar membrane and contains aqueous cell sap, which contains salt, sugar and other components. The scientists selected a kind of morning glory which is still purple after blooming and compared it with the blue morning glory. The results showed that the vacuole pH of the purple flower remained neutral after blooming, while the vacuole of the blue flower became alkaline, making the flower color change from purple to blue, just like litmus test paper turning blue in alkaline solution.
