don't you love morning glories

just had to post these photos of my morning glories they remind me of back to school and childhood. Fall is coming
xo laura

They are agressive and I dont like them where they are right now. Next year different story.

one more

I do love morning glories, glad to see someone else does too!

just a few more than i'll be good.

I think they are worth every bit of trouble they might give, but I really have no trouble with them

I like 'em too. I do agree with Sherrie on the Grandpa Ott's though. Those buggers never give up!!

Great variety Pixie.

I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMill

aHHHHHHHH, I adore morning glories!
This is a double one

and a lovely moonflower about to open

One more

Here is my only one this year... and it's a volunteer one...

All mgs are annuals???

Star of Yelta is haunting me for years. It's all over my garden, though I only planted it on one area. If they don't re-seed much, like Heavenly Blue, then they're fine.

I think they are annuals but they reseed so the plants continue to grow in the same place the mother plants were . In warmer limates they must just keep growing and reproducing a ? and I think they can be a big problem . don't they also call them "bind weed"?

No, I think bindweed is something else.

they are beautiful .... do any of them behave?

I do love them so much and they do re seed themselves. I also pull anything I do no tlike, even them when they are out of place. I really work hard on my yard, what can I say

Moon flower about to open

I think that bindweed might be a relative. the flowers look like small MG.

This one is purple & pink. lol Talk about psychedelic flowers from the 60's!

I don't have many of these and they don't fully open if it's to cool.

every one is different. Sorry it's so blurry..didn't realize it until it was to late.

Better than fireworks, Pixie!

Thanks Nance!

PIXIE, BEAUTIFUL and congrats, you are my kind of gardener!

I think I'm going to get some seed and put them all the way in the back off my property to cover the chain link fence. Do you direct sow them?

FlowerJen do it next Spring not now ok, they are annuals! They do drop the seed and come back!

Oh yeah, I know for the spring. Wanted to know if you have to start them inside first or can you just put them in the ground after first frost?

Just trow them in the ground when it is warm enough and they HATE fertilizer.

Thanks

I had heavenly blue last year and it did not re-seed... but this one was planted in 2006 in the back of the house... neddless to say it has survived... now is in the front! it's interesting because is a very small vine, did not start blooming until last week... actually is among some roses and the seeds probably woke up when I cleaned up around it... and grew so fast... I did not believe it could really bloom since it is a small vine... not even 5 feet tall...

here is the support...

I've had tiny ones blooming at one foot tall! Heavenly blue is one of my favorites, that's because I just happen to love all blue flowers!
