Morning Glories 2010 #10
Thanks for starting a new thread, Jackie!
Love your blooms especially that Sazanami! :-)
Thanks for the new thread horrayyyy!!!
becky, my kikyo ice has dark green leaves.
Thanks Helena and Becky. I love how your Sugata cross vines are so
different Helena. Sure makes growing Morning Glories a lot more fun.
I like that last bloom as much as the other Sugata blooms.
Silky Blue wilting some in the heat of the g house.
So many storms passing thru, one right after the other, that I had to
move the byard vines to the g house. They were drowning.
We've had rain/pop up storms for 4 or 5 days now.
James, lol. I didn't expect so many new posts by this am
Nicole - Hmmm yours are solid color leaves? ... my Kikyo Ice has variegated leaves. Hmmm ... shall be interesting to see the blooms. Thanks Doug for sharing KI. :-)
Jackie - I WISH we'd get some rain here. It's been hot as hades. And humid like it's been raining, but none at all the past 2 weeks. Your vine's leaves look great! Mine look pretty ratty. LOL!
So hot that I start sweating the minute I step outside. How anyone can live without A/C here is a mystery to me! I can't imagine suffering in this heat! Ugh...
I would love a few Kikyo Ice seeds if anyone gets some this year!
A.
I have some forming right now. The vine has not grown much. I might need to move it and see if it will grow taller.
That would be fantastic, I've got a million seeds here waiting to be traded this year...lol, of course they are from last year and the year before, but they are great crosses.. You guys dmail me or post here. Let me know what you are wanting and I'll send you my flicker page with photos of my flowers, but there are over 1000 mg photos, so, don't give up.
TKS.
A.
wow, gourd. that is impressive.
Hi A! Glad to see you here! You have some of the best crosses I've ever grown! Your seeds have always been a real treat for me to grow! Thanks so much for all the trades you've done with me! I genuinely appreciate it! I look forward to seeing your MG photos! :-)
And whatever my variegated Kikyo turns out to be, you know I will share! :-)
I keep forgetting to get a picture of the pink moon vine caudex I grew from Emmas seed, it is really going to town, can't wait to see it .. I found a cup with three setosa vines in it and a nice EE smack in the middle.. have no clue what I am going to do with them now, the north fence is spoken for ..
Becky, My lvs are bad on many of my glories. I get so tired of the fight.
Hi A
Gorgeous pink Debra. We have 100 degrees or so close it doesn't matter
coming the next week too.
Debra - I love this photo: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7966620 Very lovely colors and l like the backside showing the ribs! Very pretty!!! Your vines as always are really beautiful as are all the wonderful flowers in your backyard! Love those pretty daisies, too! Glad to see Hanafubuki came back, too! :-) I am sure you'll figure out a corner somewhere for your Setosa vines! :-)
Jackie - You'd never know it from your photos as your leaves/vines look gorgeous and very healthy!
Thanks, Becky and Jackie.. I love my morning glory adventures. Always a surprise in the back yard and in the DG MG forum as well.
Love your reverse tube, Joseph.
That large white I. Nil came from a packet I bought from Karen ( Gardener 2005)? It was just labled large white.
I am going to have to look at the bottom of the pot for the tag on the light blue one.
Thanks Becky.
Lovely bloom Joseph.
Debra, yes please let us know the id of the pretty light blue. It's
gorgeous.
Every day is like a gift, thank you Becky. Our beautiful mailbox. So beautiful you hardly notice the weeds. At one time we had a sign advertising the boat livery. Can you imagine we rented a 14' or 16 ' boat for $2.00 a day? The area under the sign is planted with daffodils and narcissus. Now that the foliage is dying back I want to plant some MG's at the posts. If it doesn't rain, I might get to it today.

Jackie - loved your two Mauves at the top - great colors with which to 'haunt' - would you say that mauve in morning glories has the dusky gene?
And on your Silky Blue here - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7965792 - if that came from the seeds I sent you, then it's interesting how much wider the throat of ivory is than its parent. The original seeds from Emma were tan, and they produced both dark brown and tan, with the shade of blue you're showing here producing tan seeds (the dark brown seeds came from a dark navy blue that showed increasing blizzard as the vine aged). I'll be curious to know if you get both tan and dark seeds, too.
I seem to recall that Blue Silk does the same thing with colors of seed corresponding to intensity of color in the flower, too (although, with Blue Silk, it was the same intensity of color from both shades of seeds, but there was more of it on the corolla from the darker seeds, and less of it, with more white, on the corolla from the paler seeds.)
Emma - very pretty how the deep purple in your Mai Sugata cross is so close to blue - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7965654
Hi A.
Debra - it's always fun when you share your garden with us - I learn something new every time. I especially loved this one - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7966836 - I'll bet lots of blue-lovers are swooning over that one - would also love to know the name of that one, if possible.
Joseph - given the array of fantasy shapes that Ipomoea nil carries among its genes, it's always quite an event when a nil manifests one of them, as this one does on your porch - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=7966783 . For those who'd like to know more about the incredible shapes bred during the Japanese Edo period, beginning around the beginning of the 19th century, please see the links in the MG sticky index under: MUTABILITY (Changability) of MORNING GLORIES.
Mittsy - nice to see you again on the MG forum - your pictures look like you've got the spirit of this flower down just right :)
Karen
edited to qualify my comment about the correlation of light and dark seeds from one cultivar to the flowers produced by them.
