TP: Flowers (from ABQ)

We've a very non-traditional (read: Oregonian, not South Dakotan) garden in our backyard.  This year has been a grand experiment, as we learn about our 25 different types of dirt and what it needs to grow what. Flowers are mixed right in with our food crops; some of them even being food (Nasturtiums). In the back of the space, where  most everything has failed to thrive, I spy Morning Glories joyfully embracing my stunted corn ♥ 
Pretty in Pinks
Beautiful in Blues
Not only are Morning Glories my favoritest flower in the garden (something about the fleeting beauty, the fragile-seeming strength), these are especially sacred as they're part of the bounty I've received from Sandra Dodd's backyard. The same flowers grow there, as here. And this comforts me ♥
