  8. Hello Ula. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I would think they do look very pretty there as they would hang down from the balcony and make a beautiful show.

  9. These are beautiful. Nice to see a variety of colors. I haven't seen Morning Glories in many years. Our Datura flower is a very similar shape.

  17. Thanks Krista. Until I took these pics I did not realize the difference in colors. :) Goes to show how we overlook these things and take them for granted.

  23. Hello Mingfei. I never knew they came in such a big variety either. To me I always just saw them as pink, white or blue.
