It just seems like yesterday... This is my son S. Vincent, and his/my garden when he was four years old. I received a lovely mother's day gift of a single morning glory plant in a painted pot, well you know we had to plant it. It wasn't doing much, before we left for our visit with my mother, and a week later look what happened. That was 19 years ago. Each fall I carefully collect the seeds and the photos above are today's crop. My neighbour keeps telling me they are weeds, but what does he know? S.Vincent I think has a green thumb. Those were his clematis around the shed too, another mother's day gift. I always told him, "when in doubt, buy flowers". Wait till you see S. Vincent in tomorrows post.

I love that you have kept this gift alive for 19 years!
How awesome is that ! 19 years you are a fantastic caretaker Irene :)
What a wonderful gift - it's lasted much longer than most!
Flowers are a great gift!! So happy for you that you still have it to look at!
I love morning glories, dear Irene, maybe because purple is my favorite color or maybe because of their faithfulness. At any rate your son is a gem and you are his loving mama and I can't wait until tomorrow to read about him some more! Is this the one who will someday win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry? If so I will be all the more on the edge of my seat. And thank you for viewing Allissa's gallery!!!
Morning glories are beautiful! Such a lovely tradition that you have!
I'm going to find it hard to wait.
These photos kind of made me tear up. I don't know why. Life is really poignant sometimes.
I guess it's time for more coffee.
