   Amazing color….they must self-sow…come to think of it, this must be the 1st year I don’t have any, from a plant I bought maybe 20 years (or more) ago.

     Does it grow for you in your climate? It might take over!
     • theshrubqueen says:

       September 15, 2017 at 1:52 pm

       yes and yes, I usually pull it out.

       How are things going? Been looking for a post, but perhaps you still don’t have power? A lot to clean up down there. 😦

       Hi Eliza, power was out for a day and a half. The internet just came back up, there is a lot of debris and pruning to do – it looks a lot like cold damage burnt foliage. I am taking pictures. I think I can scrounge up a vase, will probably post on Monday.
     • Eliza Waters says:

       September 15, 2017 at 2:35 pm

       Probably wind borne salt damage, I expect. I’m always amazed at how fast tropical plants recover, which helps. Glad you’re back and connected!

   I never tire of morning glories, so vivid and hopeful and peaceful.

     They really are, thanks, Jet.

    Morning Glories…always a favorite.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      September 10, 2017 at 6:04 pm

      Looking at them from inside the sunspace in the morning while drinking coffee – a nice way to wake up.
      • Jim R says:

        September 10, 2017 at 7:09 pm

        I agree.

    I love morning glories but unfortunately they’re thugs here. I chose to ignore all the warnings and planted one in the ground in my former garden. All that bright blue color was wonderful for a time but it spread everywhere and eventually became a magnet for the giant whitefly. It took me a good 2 years to eradicate it. I expect your winters keep it reined in?
    • Eliza Waters says:

      September 11, 2017 at 6:43 pm

      Yes, winters interrupt the cycle. They self-sow, but so far they haven’t been a problem as the seedlings are easy to pull. Perennial hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium) on the other hand is a nightmare in the garden.

    Such restful autumn colours.

      Thank you, Fi.

    Ah there’s your morning glories, finally in bloom! 🙂
    • Eliza Waters says:

      September 12, 2017 at 5:33 pm

      🙂 Yes, these Grandpa Ott have no problem blooming in July-August, but the Heavenly Blues still haven’t bloomed! They need poor soil, I guess. I’ve got masses of leaves though!

    I often grow morning glories, I have planted some late this year, all leaf at the moment.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      September 13, 2017 at 3:26 pm

      Grandpa Ott are good self-sowing annuals and will bloom after a couple months, but the Heavenly Blue are a disappointment with no flowers. Frost will end them before too long.
17. Kathy Sturr says:

    Glorious!!! Love Grandpa Ott’s. They are growing all over my garden, self-sown. Heavenly Blue has been blooming for me but the leaves are all yellow – still pretty. Sure make for great mornings Eliza!
    • Eliza Waters says:

      September 14, 2017 at 1:58 pm

      Yes, and they last most of the day now that it is cool. Thanks, Kathy!
