We’ve been having a brilliant show of morning glories this year, but the sudden switch from summer to autumn is now dampening their spirits – more dreariness than glory. Still, their portraits from sunnier days make a cheery show.
Just sometimes common bindweed has its good moments. There’s one that grows very picturesquely up an allotment damson tree. But then it’s not on my plot! My plot, on the other hand, has been invaded with the small pink striped sort – pretty but a complete pain.
That is what happens here. We leave for Florida the middle of Oct. and there was one year that they started blooming two weeks before we left. Hubby wanted to pull them up to clean the beds and I had to fight him off until the day before. I have had them bloom in August. Independent little buggers!
The definitely have minds of their own 🙂
LOL
Glorious photos of glorious flowers… You have such a wonderful knack for bringing nature to life – it just seems to want to burst out of the frame!
Sigh… if only the common bindweed was so beautiful. And not so invasive.

I quite like the pink striped stuff, but it is usually found on the coast – how come you have it?
I’m wondering if someone thought it would be nice thing to plant on their plot!!!
even common bindweed is better than ground elder!!
Oh yes!
Agreed
This is such a pretty blue. Thanks for sharing.
It’s very soothing, isn’t it. A ‘blue sky’ moment 🙂
Good one. I like that title
Thank you, I.J.
Lovely blue. Yes they are invasive.
They’re still looking great in my eyes 🙂 loving your past interpretations
Thanks, Becky.
Love your photos, Tish. My morning glories haven’t bloomed in three years.
Oh that’s v. sad, Pat. In the UK we can anyway only grow them as late summer annuals, and even then our weather often doesn’t suit them at all.
