We have half a dozen new neighbors in the past eighteen months. Unfortunately they all seem to have their own ideas about landscaping and the first thing they do is cut down trees. My most hated noise is a chainsaw! Where two streets divide there is a large sort of pie shaped lot with a large house with 60 year old sycamore and eucalyptus trees and landscaping gone wild. After a year of thinking about it the new owners are working on the yard. Cutting trees and pulling bushes and chopping up perennials. Along the sidewalk they took out about ten feet of a morning glory hedge and it looks like they are going to put a wall up right against the sidewalk. Sad. So, here are my last morning glory pictures.
As the sun comes up the morning glory flowers open a lovely deep blue with a pinkish center.
The lobed leaves are thick and interesting.
As the day goes on the blossoms fade to pink and wither during the night. Fresh flowers appear in the morning again.

Good Morning.....
The colors of the morning glory are lovely and the leaves a very interesting shape....sorry the new-bees are stripping the character from the lands! Hopefully, they will replace some of it with native flora! All is well here and I am slowly getting back to a more energetic me with the ability to do a little art! Take care.
The sycamore is a protected species in California as it is a native plant. It is illegal to cut them down. Joan
