I guess they’re there to stay, now.
not if effort is applied, get in there and carefully uproot those pesky twiners.

And the cat opts for both sun and privacy - courtesy of her superior camo skills.

Now I’m curious how the blue ones spread so thoroughly through the beans
I think they grow readily from seed – which they will have spread around rampantly – but also the ‘runners’ become very tough and strong and they will develop roots in places where they touch the soil and spread themselves around that way. And to make matters worse, they will develop these strong tough rooty nodules (that’s the technical term of course) in crevices in rocks or where ever they can and then send out new growth from that in the spring. So they are very crafty with many strategies for taking over and letting their blueness or pinkness or whiteness shine.
Though I should add that I have the white variety in my front garden and that is a little bit different in it's deviousness - it spreads through it's underground runnery-shoots (more technical terms) and cleverly if you pull them up but leave a little bit behind it then regenerates from the bit you left and off it goes again, and again and again. -

sighing over the pretty flowers if I think no-one’s watching
I'm with you there - they are supremely beautiful - I lazily let mine get way out of control on top of my wall just to see that dazzling display of blue.

Surely both the blue and the pink are morning glories aka convolvulus?
No idea.
They are indeed both morning glories. Their main aim in life seems to be to completely cover other plants and then turn the mass to brilliant blue (or pink - or white) with their flowers.
Caught this plant in the beginning stages of being bound by creeper....

First ducking, now shagging.
Like the fact there is a picture supplied for the Fluffy Duck, but 'No picture available' for the Cold Shag!
