Photo Hunt - string
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is string. Sadly I used my best string shots in a photo hunt fairly recently so here's a pair of morning glories. The string is blurred in the background suporting the plant.
One of my favourites indeed! Although I think I prefer the Alba if pushed.
[The white one has bigger blooms, but more importantly the leaves are very dark green and glossy which makes a superb back drop. Also the flowers open at night, they almost seem to glow as they're propagated by moths]
How come there are two different colours there? Same plant or are there two plants from different seeds? Nice string Jams. Mine will be up in half a hour or so, still getting my act together.
I love the photo - and the red flower - so far I'd only seen blue/violet morning glories. (Plus those I've seen don't need any string at all - they seem to cling to anything effortlessly...) Have a great weekend Jams!

I like that quite a lot. :)
Very pretty flowers.
I have not seen such vibrant coloured morning glorys. Happy weekend!
The best strings supporting plants are the ones you can't really see unless you look hard.
Cute choice for the theme.

They are beautiful. I should take a pic of how sad our attempt at morning glories was this year. lol
Oh what beautiful colors!
Happy Weekend.

Glory be in the Morning Jams - you wouldn't be "string"ing us along now would you with those gorgeous flowers? (Excellent photo!)
Thanks for stopping by Jams. You are so right - knew I couldn't stump you. Two haggis are hanging from the two strings!
