The flowers usually start to fade a couple of hours before the petals start showing visible curling.

Morning glory usually opens in the morning and closes in the afternoon. On a cloudy day, the flower may last until night. The flowers usually start to fade a couple of hours before the petals start showing visible curling. They prefer full sun throughout the day and mesic soils.

HI,

I don't think the italic line in the above makes much sense. I conjecture it should go like this: The flowers usually start to fade a couple of hours after the petals start showing visible curling.

Correct me where I go wrong. Thanks.
