欧博abgHow do I encourage morning glories to bloom?
Did you sow the seed directly in the ground, or start them indoors then transfer them outside, or buy some small starter plants and plant them?
It's a little difficult to tell from the photos you've posted, but it looks like the Morning Glory gets some reasonable shade. If that is in fact the case, that could be one factor causing the lack of flowers. As far as I'm aware, Morning Glory loves the the sun and really needs full-sun to be totally happy.
Before the heat hit and in fact while you've been experiencing the heat, was the Morning Glory getting enough water? Again as far as I' aware, Morning Glory prefers constant moisture, but good drainage is also important (they don't like sitting in water).
From the first photo (close up of the leaves), the leaves look like they haven't received either enough sunlight or water or a combination of both.
Did you add any fertilizer (especially one containing "Phosphorus") to the soil when you planted them?
If no, and combined with lack of sun and/or water, that could be another factor contributing to lack of flowers.
From below comment: They do get mid day shade, the sun they receiving is morning (until 11ish) and afternoon (after 3ish).
That means they are missing out on 4 hours of full-sun a day, that's a lot of sun to be missing out on, especially for a plant that likes (needs) full-sun.
From below comment: During the heat we watered twice a day, in the morning before the sun got too hot, and in the evening when it started getting less hot.
IMHO you are watering too often (which doesn't necessarily translate to enough water). Nearly all plants planted in the ground (plants in containers are a completely different kettle of fish), do much better with one or maybe two (in the heat of summer) really good, "deep" waterings a week. Even plants that prefer moist conditions do better if they go through a "slight" drying out phase between waterings.
From below comment: We added no fertilizer to the soil prior to planing.
If you try again next year, I would add something like bone meal to the soil at time of planting.
Earlier this year when I planted my Missouri native garden, I put in 20 Missouri evening primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) plug (very small) plants. After a couple of weeks in the ground they were starting to look a bit sorry for themselves, thought I was going to definitely lose 6 or 7 of them. I decided to work a small amount of bone meal into the soil around all of them, all but 1 of them are now doing great (good size and flowering).
