It certainly is a glorious morning here and these guys are celebrating it. They are growing on the hedge between our yard and the neighbors. She planted them and I can’t tell you much more about them. We are on the sunny side of the hedge so we get to see most of the flowers. I hope that does not discourage her from leaving them.

I have always had a bit of prejudice against vines, Im afraid. They always seem to be too unruly. But I have also seen so many vines in the wild that are smothering the plants they grow on. Since I haven’t yet learned much about differentiating the species yet, I can’t tell the good from the bad. A couple of the pests I fight in my garden are bindweed, which is a kind of wild relative of morning glory, and Japanese honeysuckle. Either of these will quickly cover a shrub or small tree in our back yard in a season if I let it go.

I’ve got to make a trip to the bank and attend to a couple of honeydos and then I have the rest of the day to myself. Oh boy!
