Dany's MGs 2010 part 3

Here a new from today.
Interesting color; foliage is yaguruma type so low is the fertility.

Mauve Splash from Becky.
If I remember correctly, Becky had said last year that the flowers of this culitvar change of aspect gradually as the plant get older.

Another new of this morning.
This is the very first flower may be small but I'm sure the next will be larger.
Onder the daylight my camera always gave the flash because of the deep velvet of the flower.

Dany,

All three are beautiful!

Elsa

I agree!

Dany - You should see a shift in bloom pattern about half way through the plant's life cycle. And then you will get all kinds of patterns on different blooms. It's a really nice cultivar and reminds me a little of Sazanami's bloom changes. I wish the blooms were a little bigger on the Mauve Splash like the size of the Sazanami blooms! Yours is stunning!

I hear ya about low fertility on the yaguruma types. I have the same problem with them here, too.

Happy to see more bloom photos from you! Keep em coming! :-)

Toss some fertilizer in the pot and see if it changes the gene expression for the flowers, Dany.

Hey! Why not? It'd be an interesting experiment! I wonder if that is how the Japanese get such interesting blooms? I've read that they use fertilizer.

Here is what the pattern change of my Mauve Splash looked like last year.

It went from a "snowy" blizzard to stripes! Love it!

Sorry, but I didn't get my Mauve Splash seeds from either one of you. But I did send some seeds to Dany.

I have 2 containers with Mauve Splash.
This one has variegated foliage :

And the otherone has green foliage (see photo).

The true MF is which?

Dany - Did you get both seeds from me?

Becky, I received more than one seed of MF from you, I probably put a 3 seeds germinate.
I can find information, in theory everything is on paper but it will cost me time. The ideal would be to put everything on computer and to locate the plants with the GPS. LOL
I found a new button on my camera: brightness.
Now I can take picture of "velvet". WOW

This flower opens one eye.....I wake up or not?

Dany - Your sunflower photo is amazing! What a shot of it half-open! Absolutely fantastic shot!!!

Here is my Mauve Splash showing leaves. Leaves are solid color.

Becky, ENIGMA !
Preparation for hybridization.
emasculate = remove the stamens as soon as possible.

A photo from closer.

New from today.

Full Moon , but not the same strain of your Becky.
Hand pollination should be done very soon because the stamen stain brown one hour later.

An other new for today.

Dany - Love the close-up shot of the stigma minus anthers! ;-)

You said, "emasculate = remove the stamens as soon as possible"
Agreed ... unless of course you have partial sterile blooms like I do and have no pollen on the anthers! :-)

Love your new blooms! Gorgeous colors and patterns on them, too!

Do you suppose this one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8006039 could be a cross with Sazanami? The seeds definitely came from Mauve Splash.

This is a photo of Sazanami showing the variegated leaves. I DID try to do some crosses between those two vines because I wanted larger blooms on Mauve Splash.

Bad news !

A picture from Japan, it does remind you anything?

Strange meeting, I am not sure of what I shot!
Red, is it Red ???

Beautiful blooms Dany.

Becky, thanks for sending us a pic of your lovely Mauve Splash.
It is a beauty.

Awsome blooms as usual, Dany. My Mauve splash is blooming as well. And my chianti red sunflowers have all bloomed and now I have seedheads for next year. I love the way you shoot your pictures. What kind of bug eggs were those? I found some too. ugh.

Debra and Dany, I just squashed a golden beetle on my Ipomoea indica vine this afternoon that looks like it might be a parent of Dany's patch of eggs here - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=8008124 .

And I just added an entry in the MG sticky index for the Gold Bug and beetle remedies under: Foes / Insects / Beetles

Hope this helps

Karen

ps - Dany, as always your morning glory images and text are so much fun - thank you

Karen,Debra and Karen the second (LOL): thank you,
From these eggs will get thousands of small caterpillars that eat morning, noon and evening the stamens of flowers.
I will not let me do,it is WAR!

Here a new cultivar, ipomoea Nil Split.

In profile we can see that the petals are cut.

An Hamaginga type.

Become rare on this forum, Emma's China Doll.

Two cultivars on the same support.
Those one are married for a lifetime.

Also near the blue flower is beautiful!
"Blue velvet" ♫ like the song ♫.

Perhaps Heian no Izumi.

Dany,

Emma's China Doll is a real beauty.

Elsa

Dany - this morning glory is well named, 'Blue Velvet' - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=8010284

What kind of music would you put on for squishing those Gold Bugs? Was it Tschaikowsky that did something with cannons going off?

lol

Danny, those eggs on MG. Is it a little green caterpillar? I found a lot
of little caterpillars eating the MG I put in the sunroom. I have all
kinds of wasps in my back yard so I put it on the deck. In no time came
a little black and white wasp. I was doing something with it's abdomen
right where the caterpillar was rolled up in leaf. The worm then dropped
out of the leaf. The wasp was not eating them. Maybe laying eggs on
them. Pretty cool, I have lots of little helpers in the garden.

Dany,Gorgeous split Ip nil and China Doll. I started a China Doll this spring which
did not germinate. I loved mine last yr. Even with the petals split and torn,
it was beautiful.

Dany I love your two married flowers alot. Good Job on match making.

If it does not spray against caterpillars, that is what happens sooner or later with flowers.
