The Bloom That Was Not
This entry was posted on Oct 23 2008
This rail is just outside the side door of the place I work. I pass it every afternoon on my way to the parking lot. When I noticed the morning glories taking over the entire area, I was thrilled because the photo opportunities were going to be great. Unfortunately, the building maintenance crew decided otherwise.
Today, the morning glories are dead vines that will not bloom. The worst part is that they didn’t even bother to remove them after spraying with weed killer. At least I have this one. Maybe next year.

So sad. If it’s any comfort, they seem to keep coming back no matter what.

Wow- that’s wacky people would kill to get morning glories blooming all over the place in Wisconsin…

Not easy to start from seed (0% success rate for me), but hard to get rid of an established vine.

They’re like weeds down here. It’s pretty neat seeing blooms all over the place.
Oh, that’s horrible! What was the problem with the morning glories? How nutty is that!? It’s okay to leave the dead vines but the morning glories were, what, an eyesore? – wha?! (even if they are considered weeds down there I think that’s a pretty lousy thing to do). Lazy, lazy solution…
Well, I’m glad you captured them before they struck.
Lovely photo, Pete.
