Until today......I was greeted by the first beauty !
The vines are bursting with tiny flower heads, and so hopefully in the next few weeks, we'll be once again surrounded in the garden, by a splendid display of Summertime 'blues'....
THE MORNING-GLORY
Was it worth while to paint so fair
Thy every leaf - to vein with faultless art
Each petal, taking the boon light and air
Of summer so to heart?
Thy every leaf - to vein with faultless art
Each petal, taking the boon light and air
Of summer so to heart?
To bring thy beauty unto perfect flower,
Then, like a passing fragrance or a smile,
Vanish away, beyond recovery's power -
Was it, frail bloom, worth while?
Then, like a passing fragrance or a smile,
Vanish away, beyond recovery's power -
Was it, frail bloom, worth while?
Thy silence answers: "Life was mine!
And I, who pass without regret or grief,
Have cared the more to make my moment fine,
Because it was so brief.
And I, who pass without regret or grief,
Have cared the more to make my moment fine,
Because it was so brief.
"In its first radiance I have seen
The sun! - why tarry then till comes the night?
I go my way, content that I have been
Part of the morning light!"
The sun! - why tarry then till comes the night?
I go my way, content that I have been
Part of the morning light!"

I will have to admit, they are beautiful. Great shots! Lovely poem too!
How wonderful is that ! Mine have been out for some time now they are a bluish purple in color and boy oh boy are they ever taking over I have to prune them back once a week ! Wonderful post and photos ! Have a great day !
They will be so lovely soon! Sounds divine!
Nothing more refreshing then walking in a green path !
These blooms are worth the wait.
Beautiful morning glories! Hope you check out my blog. I love yours I check in quite often. Thanks for sharing your photos are wonderful!
What lovely little morning blooms they are! I've always loved the blue ones.
Your post took my breath away!

This makes me consider my antipathy to the horribly invasive morning glory that seems to grow everywhere I don't want it! Ours have white blooms, which aren't anywhere near as beautiful as your blue ones.
Your photos take my breath away!
so very beautiful and you already know I love your fence, with or without flowers
BeaYOOOtiful! Absolutely gorgeous blue bloom, and I'm sure in no time it will be covered with them. And I'll get to see them.
The blue ones are my favorite! And they always peak just before the first frost. Always so sad to loose them at their best!
Very pretty and such depth of colour. Soon you will have too many to count, I feel?
Lovely poem too.
What a beautiful blossom!
Oh my goodness, stunning shots Jo and what a lovely poem.
Beautiful flowers and lovely poem.
Your photographs are gorgeous! The pix of the morning glory are amazing, especially against the dark background of your blog - love them!
Your blue morning glory is so beautiful. My volunteer glories were only pink this year. I guess I need to buy new seed.
