I don't understand how my morning glories could have hundreds of actual seeds, all over, but have absolutely never had even a bud, much less an actual flower? I've dissected many of these which are now beginning to fall, and inside the outer part are the typical dark brown/black seeds. I was somewhat resigned to the likelyhood that I might not have flowers this year because I made the mistake of giving the plants fertilizer once. Any info would be greatly appreciated! I'm obviously not expecting that these flower-less seeds would ever actually grow, although they do look exactly like many seeds Ive planted, although inside each outer part is only a single seed and I remember that was not how seed pods ended up after flowering.. The main reason this makes so little sense to me is that despite all my googling I couldn't find anyone saying anything about seeds without ever having flowers. I purchased the original seeds in the typical seed packages at a chain general retail store, not at all at a reputable garden center or specialty establishment, I also had planted at least 4 or 5 packets of various varieties and at least one package of moon flowers, I was surprised at how poor the percentage of viable seeds ended up being, but these were by far the most robust of all that actually sprouted, I gave the rest away to friends. Is this something that happens? Were the seeds somehow mutated? The strange part is they all are doing the exact same thing, there isn't the slightest indication of anything starting to resemble a forming bud.. They are on my deck in a very large rectangular planter.. Any help would be greatly appreciated because this is just driving me nuts, trying to figure out if this actually does happen or why it might have happened? Thanks! -Aria
