Hilary Duff, born September 28, 1987, with her acting talent,
beautiful face, lovely voice, and trendy sense of style is indeed
a young lady with a glorious career still ahead of her. Could all
of Ms. Duff's glorious talents be attributed to the fact that
she was born in the month of the morning glory? Well, perhaps we
can't give all the credit to her birth month flower, but we can
certainly hope that her career flourishes longer than the
fleeting beauty of the morning glory bloom.

The morning glory is an annual flower that blooms each morning as
the sun rises, but whose flowers die by the afternoon. The
morning glory is also called the asagao, which is a compound
composed of the Japanese words asa meaning "morning" and kao
meaning "face." So, this name literally means "morning face."
While short-lived, the exquisite beauty of the trumpet-shaped
flowers and their heart-shaped foliage makes the morning glory
well worth the effort of growing them. They are available in many
colors, such as blue, purple, pink, scarlet, and white. The
morning glory is a climbing vine that can reach as high as twelve
feet under the right conditions.

The morning glory enjoys full sun and must be given a structure
to climb, such as a fence or trellis. Exposure to full sun is
especially important since the morning glory is native to
tropical areas where warmth and sunshine are plentiful. When
placed properly and appropriately cared for, the flowers can be
as big as three inches in diameter.

Growing morning glories from seeds to big, beautiful climbing
plants is actually fairly easy. Prior to planting, either soak
the seeds for 24 hours or knick each seed to help the seeds to
germinate more quickly. Plant them under about ½ inch of soil.
Morning glories are fairly hardy, so you can begin the seeds
outdoors. Or, if you live in a climate where spring is cool and
lasts for a longer period of time, you might want to start the
plants indoors a few weeks before temperatures begin to stay
above 45 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. The plants can withstand a
light frost when planted close to a building, but won't survive
hard frosts or freezing, so be certain you're beyond those cold,
cold temperatures before you plant them outdoors.

Like the morning glory, Hilary Duff has great beauty and has
grown easily from childhood to a young adult in the shining light
of the spotlight. Perhaps there's something to this birth flower
thing after all!
