The hybrids like Heavenly Blue do not self sow at all for me. I got some in trade once marked 'pinks and purples' that had smaller flowers earlier than the HB. I had volunteers the following year but nothing obnoxious. There is a twining weed called Bindweed that has white flowers that look like morning glories. It is extremely agressive, difficult to get rid of, spreads under ground, and pops up anywhere it wants and kills shrubs by strangulation. Many people call it 'Morning Glory' (though it is no relation) and if they've never met the 'good' annual MGs would be very wary. If you can attach a piece of fencing, maybe 6" wide, it would give the MGs something to twine around. I purchased one of those cheap arbors that looks basically like a ladder that someone bent in the middle. I bought a roll of green wire fence (about knee high) and cut a strip to weave between the rungs for the vines to crawl. You could simply tie a strip of fencing to the poles with fishing line. I attached 6" strips to the posts of the privacy fence for my clamatis. My neighbor took a section and wrapped it around a flagpole in her yard. Caution--you must insert some sort of spacers between the pole and the fence so the vines have room to wrap around the fence. The role of fencing has been used for many other projects!

That is a beauty. I wish I could smell it! I have a couple orhcids blooming of the non-fragrant kind. I have some cats that will be blooming soon. Welcome back to orchids etc.

Was seeing my hubby off to work. when i stepped outside I couldn't believe how beautiful the floating clouds across the bright moon was. Nikon D300, tripod and 200-500 Tamron lens. I hadnt done a moon shot for a while. Hi everyone. Use to post a whole lot in here. It was once a booming community. :) Feel free to share your moon pics too!
