Unwelcome visitors! by s4sayer

Unwelcome visitors!

Whilst Bindweed looks attractive, too often it likes to wander and impose itself where it is not welcome. This lace cap hydrangea could shortly be struggling to maintain its integrity.

Oh dear danger in a pretty package

Lovely light, dof...Hopefully, the bindweed can be pulled out.

These are so pretty with their difference in flowers on the same plant! Pull that weed out!

Beautifully composed. I didn't even notice the bindweed until I read your caption. I struggle so much with this weed too.

This was taken in the garden at the Grotte...which belongs to Paimpont Abbey, 15 minutes brisk walk away. In preparation for the Feast of the Assumption on 15 August, the Grotte will be having a big tidy up and clean. The menfolk (Richard included), circa 20 of them, will cut back the foliage, clean all the alleys and paths etc., a whole day's work. The ladies, yes me too, will clean the shrine, the benches, wash all the memorial stones etc. and then put everything back. It's a major Feast Day in the Catholic calendar and the open air Mass at the Grotte is attended by many, residents and visitors alike.

We have the bindweed in our garden but not the lace-caps... we appear to have got things the wrong way round ;-(

A lovely color pallet and lighting, looks rather nice on black. Bindweed, very appropriate name.

Here we call this Morngin Glory. My FIL was a gardner and he called it D***ned old morning glory. It can grow so quickly. I have it all over my yard. A lovely shot of the hydrangea. I like the dappled sunlight.

Beautiful soft lighting here. A very pretty shot of a pretty (and invasive) weed.

I love bindweed despite it's nasty habits, the flower buds are beautiful as well as the open flower.

I agree, it's an attractive flower...with very bad manners!
