  2. Lovely - I think the best background for a Morning glory is a fence! Apropos, it's also my favorite ultramarine blue in painting:) Many thanks and appreciation for being a part of Seasons, and have a beautiful week!

  3. They grow wild and are considered a pest here in NZ, but I love to see them growing over hedges and fences.

  4. I do love morning glories but they can be invasive. My son has them growing wild in his yard and he pulls them up. Such a pretty flower should have more respect. Lol.

    Happy Blue Monday and thank you for linking today.
