These seeds are special \u2014 we collected them last summer from the flowers our son grew at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His morning glory plant was full of large, deep-purple blossoms and lush green leaves. Before the summer holidays began, I went to school to bring the pot home. I still remember carefully carrying it, feeling the prickly vines against my hands. During the 40-day summer break, my son watered the plant not every morning and evening as recommended, but only when he felt like it. So I helped with the watering a little. It bloomed beautifully and gave us many flowers to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the plants are still small because I planted the seeds a little late. I hope they will grow as strong and vibrant as last year\u2019s and that I can display their blossoms in the <em>tokonoma<\/em> alcove of our Japanese room to welcome guests!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, we are growing asagao (Japanese morning glor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-behind-the-scenes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4919"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4921,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions\/4921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
