And she planted some others,just like those in your picture, that climb onto our second floor deck and peek over and say hi.Nancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429062957063032872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-6689982290919550762007-09-20T01:12:00.000-05:002007-09-20T01:12:00.000-05:00I have to wholeheartedly agree with Olivia that th...I have to wholeheartedly agree with Olivia that they'd be fantastic on a pergola (the blues or purples, that is). Those white ones ("chigger weeds" that's a new one to me!) are a wild variety of <I>Convolvulus</I> that doesn't really vine as much as it trails and clumps. At least the ones we have growing wild here do that ... we just call them wild morning glories, though we don't have any growing in our yard. You often see them growing along curbs and by roadsides, and I've always thought they must be some tenacious little guys for what they must endure. I suppose you could say that about Crown Vetch too, but that's such an invasive marauder it's hard to feel sorry for them. But the little morning glories? I'll cut them some slack, if only for being the cousins of their flashier relatives such as these.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-29413443844344041302007-09-19T19:09:00.000-05:002007-09-19T19:09:00.000-05:00FAR, they would look great climbing a pergola! :)FAR, they would look great climbing a pergola! :)oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-43379771766638839052007-09-19T16:31:00.000-05:002007-09-19T16:31:00.000-05:00I've seen white MGs growing wild on this planet. M...I've seen white MGs growing wild on this planet. Mrs. Fetched refers to them as "chigger weeds," a name that seems to apply to any wildflower as far as I can tell. But wouldn't they look great climbing a pergola, too?<BR/><BR/>That's a great shot, BTW. It looks lit up from inside.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-80516130737357594132007-09-19T10:06:00.000-05:002007-09-19T10:06:00.000-05:00Morning IVG ... :)I love MGs ... cheery flowers. I...Morning IVG ... :)<BR/><BR/>I love MGs ... cheery flowers. I've never had any luck w/ them self-seeding though -- wonder if it's not the right climate here? Or maybe I don't get enough seed pods forming before the frost gets the plant. Anyways, I always have to buy new seeds each year. <BR/><BR/>These are lovely photos ... I have such a hard time getting nice photos of these flowers. Heavenly blue is the perfect name ... it's a beautiful colour.<BR/><BR/>Yes! Planting the spanish flag there sounds wonderful ... I love that plant.oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.com
