Morning Glorious
As you may recall, I spent a few hours this spring attempting to create better structures for my morning glories to climb. However, I neglected to consult with the morning glories first. Apparently, they are less than thrilled with my efforts:
Had I, in fact, included them in my pre-planning process, they would have told me to save myself the time and string because they had a much better idea:
They are climbing my butterfly bush. I absolutely love this! The butterfly bush has finished its first flowering and the second is not as full as the first. The morning glories are adding wonderful color.

Ooh, this is pretty! I have kind of the same thing going on. I had planned my morning glories to grow over my chainlink fence by the veggie garden, but it chose to climb up the climbing roses nearby instead. So I have yellow roses and 'Grandpa Ott' growing together. It's pretty, even if it wasn't what I planned. Although...I've never had morning glories do what I want them to do. They're the rebellious teenagers of the gardening world ;-)
That is a nice combination. What is it they say about the best laid plans?
A happy accident, like a clematis vine of mine twirling itself around my rose shrub.
Happy to see that even the best of us gets taken down by nature sometimes. I was drawn to your site by its name and I continued looking and reading the comments. Best gardening tip for 2007, read "Diary of a Wannabe Gardener" for fun and inspiration. Preview it at www.bbotw.com Its by the author Dorothy Guyton Keep up the good work on your site.
Gotta love those morning glories.... Had a volunteer in my tomato bed that climbed to the top of the 6 ft tall support and is now jumping onto 2 other nearby plants! It is taking over, but is too pretty to take out!
Good jjob
