A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.  ~Adabella Radici

    I confess that I hate morning glories b/c they overtake everything in my yard, but what an absolute beautiful photo of a gorgeous flower!

  • 5 Millie:

    Your photography is so nice. Beautiful flowers!

  • 6 Tootsie:

    I am in awe of how wonderful each bloom looks! Your morning glory is very pretty girl….I have no blooms on mine at all!!! thanks for flaunting with me!

  • 7 RainGardener:

    Everything looks beautiful. I sure wanted Morning Glory when we first bought this place it was the first thing I bought (seeds) and the neighbor said ‘No you don’t want to plant that it will take over everything.’ Why did I listen to her? I still may get some.

  • 8 Teresa:

    I love how they quickly cover a blank fence but they do reseed themselves easily so you just have to pull the ones you don’t want.

  • 9 Dee/reddirtramblings:

    Very beautiful. Were you wondering about the yellow flowering vine? It’s Black-eyed Susan vine, Thunbergia alata. I love my ‘Grandpa Otts’ morning glories.~~Dee

  • 10 Lona:

    Just beautiful pictures of so many pretty flowers. I see you have so many Impatiens in your shady beds too. I love the color of your morning glory, what a pretty corner bed it makes.

  • 11 Jacki:

    Oh I love morning glories and your purples ones are so pretty! Everything looks just lovely this week, as usual.

  • 12 Nell Jean:

    Loved the smiling pepper yesterday. Love the impatiens today. Wish a kniphofia late bloom would surprise my garden!

  • 13 Catherine:

    It’s so pretty there! After seeing more of the blue morning glory vines I think i should try them next year. What do yours grow on? They look so pretty on your fence. The impatiens in your front yard are beautiful.

  • 14 Teresa:

    Catherine: Some of the morning glories are on a trellis and some of them climb up fishing line I run between nails on the fence. They will grab a hold of anything!

  • 15 Robyn:

    Stunning photos! My Morning Glories are just starting to bloom this week, too. ~ Happy Friday! ~ Robyn

  • 16 Patsi:

    Wonderful sharp pictures.
    Love seeing your beds…don’t always get to see that.
    Morning glories are always eye catching with light coming from the center.

  • 17 nance:

    Your garden is so lovely, Teresa! My morning glory this year is not giving me lots of blooms. :( but i still love it just the same.

  • 18 donna:

    I’d say that your fertilizer is working because everything is looking gorgeous, especially that flower bed at the front of the house. Very pretty. Wish my tomatoes were a beautiful red like yours. I’m afraid we’ll run out of warm weather before they ripen.

  • 19 Jan (ThanksFor2Day):

    It’s all just beautiful!
