September 2005 in the Back Yard

I don't know why I find the "heavenly blue" hybrid morning glories so much more striking than the very nice reddish-purple species plants. They're bigger, but that doesn't especially show in photographs. There's something about the delicate purity of the blue, I think, that makes the hybrids special. Still, it's fun to photograph both kinds.

Pamela first planted morning glories for me, but since then she and Lydy have each done some in various years. This year, they're Lydy's, or volunteers from her efforts last year. Thanks!
