The Green Beast

This exuberant climber is a morning glory plant that forgot to flower. That's our lamppost, by the way. Now that it's reached the top and then some, it's sending out tendrils in all directions -- beckoning like some creepy leaf monster wanting to ensnare you. It doesn't help that it's now way taller than Ray.

Last year's plant had such great blooms, and this one doesn't even have any buds. I can't figure it out.

I'm having to cut it back, just so the lamp can actually light the yard.
