Hi Dusty,

Your posts make me wish we had morning glories planted on part of our fencing too. The second photo of the second post is wonderful.

Thanks for sharing,

The light blue is very very beautiful

Hi Dusty,

So it's that easy? I'll first plant the seeds in pots and they sprout just as nicely as in the soil in your backyard?
I'd be delighted to have some of each colour when you gather the seeds if it's not going to be any trouble.

Thank you, I'd truely appreciate that.


Hi Dr. Harout;

Your blue ones are just as glorious in the light...very cheerful and sweet shade of blue which matches your skies too!

Thanks for sharing,

Good series there Dusty, pretty blooms (plus bees) well photographed.
Nice light blue variety there as well Doc.
