The morning glory is often found on the graves of children.
It is a symbol of resurrection (the flower opens to celebrate the sunrise).
Morning glories also mean unrequited love. They can be found in Victorian literature and on Victorian gravestones to signify a love that never ended. Conversely, it can also signify that a potential love was never reciprocated. Christians believed that the morning glory related directly to the finite nature of life on earth, with each single flower representing one life, and life being represented by the daylight hours of the sun, withering and finally dying by nightfall.
