This morning I was called on to take my two grandsons to their swimming practice. On the return trip I noticed what looked to be Azalias blooming in the ditch. I knew the season was over so I stopped for a closer look and discovered a large patch of blooming Salt Marsh Morning Glories. I counted over a hundred open blooms. I went back home and returned with my camera, and, got a few pictures. These are growing in a place that will be mowed soon. I am afraid that if I call attention someone will apply roundup, as so many people hate wildflowers. At least they can come back from the roots this way. I will return in the morning and pay more attention to the distinctive leaves, which I ignored this morning.
