Symbolism: ?Affection & Determination

?

“The morning glory, which blooms for a day, differs not at heart from the giant pine that lives for a thousand years.”

—— Alan Watts

?

Each flower on the meandering morning glory vine blooms only for a single day. As dusk darkens the sky, the flowers all curl up for the night. The very next morning brings fresh growth and the promise of yet more glorious flowers upon each vine. In the Victorian Language of Flowers, the morning glory with its tenacious tendrils was associated with love and affection. In Chinese lore, the morning glory symbolized the determination of two legendary lovers who resolved to meet even after their parents separated them with a wide river.

Inspirational Message:

When life becomes challenging, remember the morning glory, for which nothing is an obstacle. A fence or wall simply gives the tender but determined vine a new place to grow and another reason to climb higher toward the sun.
