A couple years ago, a red morning glory came up as a volunteer in one of my garden beds. I saved the seeds, but perhaps needn’t have, as it has come up every year since in the same place, as well in surrounding areas (but not annoyingly so).

This year, I replanted several volunteers of this in places it could climb. I have been enjoying gently encouraging it to vine up the hedgerow fence, on some dry yucca branches, and over the walls of my little screened garden house. It’s been a bit what I imagine raising bonsai is like.
