Beautiful flowers or common weeds? Cathedral bells


This beautiful flowers belong to cathedral bells (Cobaea scandens) - perennial climber in different continents, annual in Poland. In some countries its beauty is admired and wanted, in other you may find it on the list of common weeds (New Zealand). Pure relativity.

Ha, I can say it's gorgeous.

Not knowing it. First time to see it, your pics.

Hmm. Have learned enough from past plant descriptions (and desire). Will pass on having it for myself.

Enjoying it elsewhere.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Very lovely bloom and it vines very attractively on the walls. I will try this plant.

You know what they say...One man's weed is another man's beautiful flower. ;-)

It's much to beautiful to be a weed!

Are these related to Morning Glory? I love climbers, but you have to be very diligent about pruning or they get into everything.

Tara,
Happy you like it :)

Nicole,
If you live in a climate zone, it can grow as true perennial. Winter cold kills it.

Fern,
Thanks for visiting :)

Enzie,
If you take closer look they are completely different. The only thing they have similar is they bot are climbers.
Cathedral bells are more interesting, less common.
