🫵GRAMPA OTT SPOTTED I saw a whole clump of these guys growing feral on a roadside fence and. I mean good for them but also forced to accept that my ipomea’s are yet again going to bloom too late to give me seeds. “They’re such rigorous reseeders they’re basically a weed” oh no my grass is too green

Oh no longer plant dad. Plant grandpa. And an ott now? You crazy kids! Ugh yeah. The pain of the thing you don't want growing thriving while the native plants your trying to grow languish!

Sorry I meant the glory! I always think of purple purpurea as grandpa ott’s since that’s usually how they’re sold. I’m dealing with a bit of the opposite! My natives tend to do grand (no complaints there) but the ornamentals I’ve got potted or here and there, just can’t seem to get it together!

Aww, it looks like it's charging up like a canon. I am inspired.

Is that a Photoshop effect or do they actually look like that? .... I know nothing about flowers..

They actually look like that. Morning glories come in a variety of colors and are easy to grow but can become unruly if you don't keep them in check.

Would that depend on the climate? I don't think I've seen anyone growing them down here in Sydney.(Or at least where I live, lol)
