Morning Glory

This year I planted some true morning glory by the playhouse.  I had great dreams of flowered vines covering the top of the playhouse.  Unfortunately, the vines took a long time to grow (though now they're growing like crazy) and even longer to bloom.  So, it looks like we'll only have a month or so to enjoy the flowers. 

Another flaw in my plan is the fact that morning glory blooms turn toward the sun, which in this case means away from the yard, so you hardly see them.

They are gorgeous flowers, though.  (These are untouched pics!)
