On a vine climbing up the side of a pine tree. It had one single Moon Flower on this night.

There are numerous sections in this old cemetery area. If just wandering you can pass through Magnolia, enter Soldiers Ground, next the local Catholic graveyard and back into the old Umbra plantation house in Magnolia Cemetery. Across the road there must be ten AME cemeteries also.
I prefer the old Victorian designs, so I stay along the marsh banks.

I’m pretty sure they think I can’t see them. After all, they’re hiding.
If you are the biggest and badest one out there you don’t necessarily need to be the smartest.

On the other side of this tree line is the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor.
The old Magnolia Cemetery winds through the marsh, above ground mausoleums on the edge of the water. Charleston is at sea level and all this could be washed away.
All this land was originally the Umbra Plantation, a rice plantation until the US Civil War.

As Ellen said this morning, “the gift that just keeps giving”.
This morning was the first time in months we had no Moon Flowers out back. I walked all around, even checked behind the pine it’s been climbing.
The good news is we have gotten warmer again and there are a few buds scattered around. I’ve shot so many flowers that lately I didn’t bother. I’ll check tonight/tomorrow though. Most likely the last (I’ve said that before though).

Even the old plastic fantastic came out to shoot a few.
This year has not been great for the Morning Glory. In past years it seemed like they climbed and grew everywhere. Still the ones we have were vivid colors.
The tropical Moon Flowers that have been spectacular are actually part of the Morning Glory family. So maybe it has been a good year.
