John says Jesus came to His people, and His very own didn’t receive Him, but those who did He gave power to become sons and daughters of God, even to those who believed on His name.
Please help me to believe in Your name and power. Sandy’s understanding. Make it your verses John 1: 11,12
Bind weed is an annual or perennial plant with no persistent woody stems. It is a twining vine or bine. The shoots of the plant grow in a helix in contrast to a vine that climbs using tendrils or suckers.
The flowers are mostly white and pink, but also blue,violet,purple, or yellow. Some species are cultivated for attractive flowers.
Convolvulus species are used as food plants by the larva of the hawk moth and the potatoe leaf mitier.
Morning glory/bind weed has no capacity to cause damage to property. It annoys the gardener by twisting round carefully planted and cared for plants taking away light, hence a weed. Our garden has it twisted up the railings then along the top. It travels well when we travel.
The flowers closed at night, and I took the opportunity to paint them. We are experiencing the harvest moon, and I enjoyed photographing that, too.
Travel with me a while. I sometimes go off topic. šI asked Google the question of who paintedĀ morning glory flowers. The answer was Utagawa Hiroshiga ( 1798- 1858). I didn’t see the flowers. Instead, I watched this Hiroshiga: Van Gogh’s Favourite. A pleasant off-topic visit.
I hope the morning glory weed is under controlĀ in your garden.

Will pass the video on to my son who teaches art at our high school. Thanks! It’s interesting to consider the things that influence us in our artworks!
Thanks for the link to the video. Some new art info for me and will look at his paintings in a new light.
So pleased you can enjoy it, too. I really was pleased to find it and pleased to share.
I love morning glories. I never knew they were called bindweed. They throw a beautiful blanket of flowers over all sorts of ugly stumps and barbed wire fences here where we are.
How true! Unfortunately, they can be a problem!
