Last year there was nary a blossom on our morning glory plant, even though the vines were quite prolific. This year’s planting – in the same spot – was headed in the same direction until a few weeks ago, when the place started rocking morning glory flowers, as well as moon flowers, which I had added as a companion plant. I never noticed the “rays of sun” emanating from the flower’s center – a veritable sunrise – and wonder if that’s how the plant got its name.
They’ll probably be around until the first frost, which seems nowhere in sight, for the time being anyway.

That is a beautiful photo!
Thanks bro … spent a good hour out there with a macro lens … the key was finally shading the flower with a sheet of paper to create a more uniform light…
