Ditto...Your photo doesn't represent the plant in bloom--whether you're pro- or anti- morning glory, it was not a good choice.

Morning Glories
I agree with r-m2543 the picture is a very poor choice for showing what Morning Glories look like. They may be considered an Annual, but mine have come back every year since I planted them because the seeds self-sow.

I spent 34 yrs in horticulture for Cornell. We called morning glory "bind weed". It is very invasive. And easily established. Only the herbicide "round up" will kill it.

WRONG
They tend to be very invasive and out of control. However, I just love them on my arbor made of part of a cedar tree. I only wish I could control the growth. After the Morning Glories took off, they have ended up in my Crepe Myrtles that are planted on both sides of my arbor. I have to keep cutting back my Crepe Myrtles so the Morning Glories will not take them over. I do have some beautiful pictures. I title the pictures. Morning Glories on the South Arbor. I also have Moon Flowers growning on the same arbor. I've tried to send in pictures, but I do not know what I'm doing, they won't accept them. Has something to do with the size of the pictures.
