Every morning weather permitting I indulge in a cup of filter coffee in my garden shelter. But first I have to pass the fence with my 'Morning Glory' annuals to inspect the day's offerings. For the 'latinists' these are Ipomoea purpurea belonging to the Convolvulaceae family and for the non-gardeners the flowers only last for a day. I've only once ever bought seeds several years ago and for ever after they manage to self-seed themselves. The are dark purple (Star of Yalta), white (Milky way) and mauve (Grandpa Otis). Well today I noticed 2 new hybrids with colours pink and dark pink - was I excited. I think my friend had bought them in a packet and they hadn't done well for her. So the moral of this story is to leave everything to mother nature!
