Now for how to tie blooms. This is a blue ipomoea nil or Japanese Morning glory large flowered variety.

First,you do the scout for about to open blooms in the evening. Then you tie one yarn on the stem and another yarn on the tip of the about to open bloom. Make sure it has the fresh crispness of an about to open bloom and you are not tying one that has already opened. Any kind of dryness or browning is a sign that it is an already finished bloom.
