ABC Wednesday: M is for morning glory

Marvelous Magnificent Morning Glory

Morning glories don't bloom until late summer here so I had to go to my photo archives.

I love morning glories but they can be invasive.

It was hard to decide which summer shots to use as I've photographed them a lot.

I decided to try and show some of the different varieties that spring up in my yard.

I have more of the purplish ones than the other varieties.

The vine below was climbing around my roses so eventually I had to remove it.

The next one had a visitor.

The last variety has smaller flowers than the others but larger leaves.

  21. Carver, we had morning glory all over our fence out back. I'd get up early and sit with coffee, huddled under a blanket with a good book, waiting for the shy little deep blues to show their faces. Thank you for a beautiful memory.

    Also, the articulation on that bug was amazing. You are so talented! Amy
