    I thought for sure the frost had killed all my morning glories :'( Obviously I was wrong because they are putting on one heck of a show :-D These are all volunteers that sprouted from last years seeds!

    Those morning glories are still doing you proud. Ypu've got better weather than we do here. What a way to enjoy the fall!

    Lovely, and I like the color combinations, too! You must be some great gardener to have volunteer plants come up and thrive, even past frost. We have wild morning glories (sharp-pod morning glory) here in Texas, that will take over a field if left on their own. I admit I let them ramble on the fence a bit. Yours on the trellis are prettier!

    Beautiful and in mid-October up north too.
    I have those colors too, planted them once each about three years ago and they come back every year now. But nothing like the mass you have there, I love that.
