Another quicky from the pocket camera. I carry this thing around with
me all the time, but I don't actually use it as much as I should. I
have to try to be better with that.

I'm green with envy - I could never grow morning glory :-(

Be even greener. It's a weed in my yard, trying to suffocate
my rose bush! I can't get rid of it!

Yes, it's an invasive pest in some climates, it's declared weed in our
state. Acres and acres of native bushland have been taken over and the
wildlife has been displaced by morning glory. I'll grant, it's a pretty
flower, but I loathe it for the damage it has done.

Is it the cultivated variety aka morning glory with bigger flowers, or the
smaller flowering relative aka bindweed? Here in Oregon, "bindweed" is a
noxious weed, where "morning glory" doesn't cause a lot of problems and can
be a tad difficult to grow. Bindweed, OTOH, is everywhere..

The cultivated one, I live in Australia.

Same here. Bindweed is a pest - but it's very beautiful, I think.

I seem to be in the mninority though :-)

Lesser bindweed is even prettier, with its delicate pink flowers.

We have it here also - I rather like bindweed, it blooms in the
daytime/afternoon, and is quite pretty. I like the cultivated morning glory
plant, but that does not grow as well here, I don't think it likes the cold
wet climate. Bindweed seems to grow better, but it also doesn't seem to like
the climate that much as it isn't a pest. We have long wet winters and
springs, and then in June it stops raining for about three months. Plants
that can't live that long without water usually don't do well unless they
can produce seeds before they die.

We have Queen Annes Lace here, it is considered a noxious weed. I rather
like the flowers as they are quite pretty. This is a single plant that grew
next to my pump year before last. If you give them enough water, they will
get quite large. This one eventually reached about five feet tall and five
feet diameter - big sprawling plant. They tend to clog up ditches because
they get so big - like miniature tumbleweeds - which is why I think they are
classified as a noxious weed. If they don't get water, then they stay very
small, and just put up a few flower stalks that go up 2-3 feet.

I think they're stunning, so delicate and well-named as lace.

I don't think they're classed as noxious weeds here.

Never had one in my garden and I've tried sowing the seeds.
