Hi, My morning glory has started to flower lately, but i haven't seen a seed pods produced. I read that the seed pod will grow where the flower is, after the flower died. But i keep my eye on all the place where the flowers died, and found none seed pods. Not sure what went wrong. Is it not the time yet? The vines not mature enough? Attach some of the flower here. Hope someone can guide me here thanks.  All your signatures are MINE

MG seed pods will take a while to form. Keep an eye on all areas where flowers have fallen off, check often and see the process unfold. Too much nitrogen or water has been linked with little to no harvest, meaning more leaves than that of flowers. Judging from the photo you have an over-abundance of leaves. Allow the plant to dry for a few days = more flowers = greater % of harvest. I am currently waiting on the MG harvest here as well. 8 flowers today, which is a record.  I'll upload photos in time.

Seeds usually show up in the fall , I've been growing these for many years . Wait until the seed pods are very dry it's much easier to harvest the seeds then. Patience , You'll have plenty of seeds when the time is right . The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Arthur C.

I just moved somewhere that's been about 15 degrees cooler than my previous home, so my plant has been tricked into believing it's fall and is now seeding profusely.  I went out an grabbed a pic so you know what you're looking for. These pods are not ready for harvest yet, but will be once they've browned and dried out.

As stated it'll prolly just take time.
That is assuming what you have is Ipomoea tricolor or I. purpurea.
If you didnt start it from seed it might be Ipomoea indica, which doesnt produce seeds.
Cali, Oz, NZ, and a few other places are just infested with I. indica

I'll stop watering it for some days and see My plants also produce 5-6 flowers nowadays, the flowers always died(wilt) in one day, is that normal? All your signatures are MINE

Is is any difference for the plant? Thank you. Nice pic by the way All your signatures are MINE

No problem! Yeah, just leave it be and keep an eye on the plant for next coming flowers.. see if there is any difference. MG flowers wilt in one day, that's okay. They should be quite mature upon opening though. If they are wilting upon opening, there is an in-balance. Also, purpurea isn't likely to contain ergine. Or at least too small levels of it.
