    ...And to think, I actually tried to keep these from growing this year!

    They can't be stopped!

    I like them. Morning glories are a favorite. We couldn't have them in Arizona until just recently. They were termed a noxious weed. I can see why. Just from last year along one little spot, they are everywhere this year. They are full of holes though. We now have millions and millions of tiny grasshoppers. I hope the rain knocks some of them down. Dooley

    Quite a display! I like them, even if they are considered a bit weedish in some places. I grew them up a trellis once and it was the prettiest thing.

    They are beautiful - I really do wish they weren't so invasive so I could grow them too. Instead I am trying to kill them as they are taking over the back of our church. Sigh...

    I have silk ones decorating part of my kitchen - no weeding problem there!
