Morning glories and autumn leaves. It's an unusual combination, isn't it? But that exists in my neighborhood because these morning glories, specifically blue dawn flowers (Ipomoea indica) produce flowers not only in summer but also in autumn or even in winter. So hardy, aren't they?
Other differences between usual morning glories and blue dawn flowers include the size of flowers. The latter's diameter is about 10 cm. And as you can easily guess, their hardiness, which means invasiveness, makes them designated as an invasive plant in Japan. Fortunately, however, these blue dawn flowers are in Central Tokyo but in an area where few people come, so they've grown vines nonchalantly, just climbing up a tree (3rd photo)😆!

アサガオと紅葉。奇妙な取り合わせですが近所に発見しました。というのもこのアサガオ、正確にはノアサガオ（野朝顔）で夏だけでなく、秋、いや冬にも咲くのです。丈夫です。あまりに丈夫なので生態系被害防止外来種に指定されています。
でもこの野朝顔、都会のど真ん中の、でも人がほとんど来ない場所に咲いています。ということで駆除されることなど心配せず、のびのびと上に上にと伸びています（3枚目）。見習いたい😆。
