The trumpet flower, I can relate to this name. Interesting to know the color changes due to pH level change. And I like that simple beauty as you described. Indeed, the simple beauty brings simple pleasure.

My neighbour is the dreaded 'council' and they don't care about their trees causing a nuisance so I'm left to manage them myself.

If only you was my neighbour, you'd have those suckers pruned and shaped in no time 🫶

I wish you were my neighbor, i could’ve been enlightened and inspired, and started my sketching journey way earlier😊

Well, well,there you go, I had no idea my birth flower was a Morning Glory. I think your neighbour was being a bit petty, she could have cut it back on her side of the fence if it was a problem. We have a Star Jasmine on part of our back fence, an area we couldn’t get anything to grow all that well, it has decided it also likes our neighbours side of the fence, but I just noticed she has just cut it back, and she has never complained.

I just started outdoor gardening then, I wasn't sure I could keep the morning glory from spreading, and I would have felt awful if it had harmed their cherished roses and memories...

You are a very thoughtful neighbour, respecting other people’s plants and the stories behind them.🙂 I hadn’t thought about the reasons for colours changing…interesting.
