What's the story

Morning Glory.

Yesterday as NM and I walked by this cottage she pointed out this lovely Morning glory. Today as I went by it again it looked beautiful in the sunshine so I stopped to take a photograph. The lady came out of the cottage and was so pleased that I was capturing it. She said that she couldn't really take any credit for it as it has been planted by her neighbour. She told me that some years they had over 200 blooms.

Makes me think of the lines from Burns:
"The flower it blows, it fades, it fa's, and art can ne'er renew it."
