1. Beautiful.

Are the top picture Grandpa Ott's? I've tried several times to grow them, unfortunately without success.

Yes, they're the most prevalent of several other shades/varieties of morning glories in my flower beds. I didn't plant them, they were here when I moved in five years ago and have bloomed every summer. They propagate from the seeds they drop in the fall. Morning glories are common in other yards and along fencerows in my neighborhood. They dominate my beds from late August--when almost all of the other flowering plants and ferns are already shutting down--through the first frosts. The dying stems of the other plants make a framework for the morning glory vines, forming a flower-dotted net.
