| The vine produces a pretty purple flower..... |

Gorgeous! Mine aren't blooming yet but it's almost time. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like the English ivy plants. They are almost impossible to get rid of as they climb and grow, even up tall fir and other trees. They are an invasive plant in Oregon and destroy trees and habitat that is native. Keep that climber in check!
ReplyDeleteYour backyard is TO DIE FOR! You definitely need to come share this with my party I host every week (it opened yesterday)! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though it is not doing what you had planned it looks really beautful!!

That's simply gorgeous! (Stopping by from the Weekend re-treat).
ReplyDeleteI have one just like that..and I am thinking I need to buy a new trellis..something for it to cling to as it is wrapping itself around everything. It's happy on the porch. LOVE the little white wagon, by the way. Beautiful plant though, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI know that Morning Glories are very invasive too. I once had to pay two hundred dollars to have mine removed from my neighbors pretty Cyprus tree's...as they had wrapped around them and were strangling them. No more of planting things like that where I can't control it. It looks like yours is winding in your own tree. They can be distructive. Such a lovely yard, Penny!!
Your plants are gorgoeus!

cela ressemble à des " pois de senteurs"
ReplyDeletec'est superbe
il faut leurs mettre un " tipi" pour qu'ils s' accrochent
tout est superbe plein de belles couleurs joyeuses

I have lots of these coming up volunteer at our new house! I forgot how pretty the flowers were on them. Your yard looks so relaxing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!!
Love your garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beans and garden vignette penny, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of hyacinth beans, Penny. They seem to grow with wild abandon! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI Too have never heard of these!! Interesting!! They look pretty and I love that you planted them in the wagon!!

I love how pretty the hyacinth beans vines are. I planted some myself this year but they did not do very well. It was my first year planting them and I think I buried the seeds too deep in the ground. My MIL's has done terrific though and she planted hers a month or more after I did. I think these would be gorgeous growing up an arbor.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and look so charming in your wagon!
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,

Your hyacinth bean plant looks amazing, and how cute in the wagon. Note to self...buy hyacinth bean seeds next year. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAren't they pretty!? I've never grown them before, but you officially have me convinced!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the hummingbirds would love 'em!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! Thank you for linking up your lovely outdoor paradise with us!
ReplyDeleteI am kicking myself for not planting some... I have the seeds in a jar... just never got around to it.... they are wonderful! Thanks for sharing your lovely post at Home Sweet Garden Party! You are on of this weeks featured posts! I hope you can join us again this week too! It will be open this afternoon at 4pm! {www.creativecountrymom.com} Hugs...Brooke
ReplyDeleteI was given some of these seeds from another blogger ( over at Simply Balisha ) and that poor vine had a terrible time since something kept eating its leaves as soon as it would grow a few. It has FINALLY started to take off and I HOPE that it will be as pretty as yours is soon! :)
ReplyDeleteihr garten ist wunderschön!!! alles liebe von angie aus deutschland

ReplyDeleteI featured your pretty hyacinth beans on Mod Mix Monday at Mod Vintage Life! I love that white wagon!!!
