When I first mentioned planting morning glory, Paul was less than enthusiastic. Morning glory to him meant field bindweed, a noxious, nasty weed he has been eradicating from our prairie. I had to assure him that this morning glory (or ipomea) is a lovely annual vine with beautiful blooms. I planted it to camouflage the pole that holds up the satellite dish for the internet which it is doing quite well, I think. Morning glory is true to its name. The blossoms are full and bright every morning when I look out the window. By evening, they have closed up and gone to sleep. Being a morning person myself, I can understand this rhythm. Paul agrees that it is a beautiful plant. He's still not completely convinced that it won't try to take over the property, however.
