Last gasp of summer

These are my morning glories, seizing their last chance to flower before the cold nights stop them in their tracks.
The mornings and evenings now are chilly and many of the annual plants (especially in the vegetable patch) are only half alive.
Soon they will just become brown masses of tangled stems and will be returned to the earth to be recycled into something new next year.

My tomatoes and bell peppers are still blooming and going strong but I'm sure they'll be gone tomorrow morning. The forecast calls for 3C in the morning...

@Fleura It hasn't gotten chilly enough here to bother the plants yet.

I had bought seeds of Morning Glory last year - only one bloomed. Yours look divine

Oh, they are lovely.
Autumn is still struggling to gain a foothold here. However, we still haven't had a good enough run of it to declare "sweater weather" yet.

Don't worry about them.They have lots of seeds and will multiply next year.

I like your morning glories.
I remember when I was a child the first plant that I planted from seed, was a morning glory, and it was the first time that any of my seeds actually grew. They were so beautiful that my mother put in a trellis for them to climb on.
We haven't had really cold nights yet, but they are coming.
