Morning Glories 2011 #19

Oops, I had left the computer Karen so missed your post. Love your excerpts from the lovely poem by Rita Sackville West.

Me too!

whiteflys... mix up dish soap and a little olice oil or canola oil. Add Windex. spray plants and surrounding soil. use your laundry water for watering. the soap kills the bugs. all my plants get the wash and the rinse water mixed with fert and windex.

LOL @ the fun!

"Roses are red
Morning Glories ain't
Easiest way to get one
Is with spray paint" ^_^

aww Nick! LOL

try as you might and sing while you do
a rampant morning glory will still get to you!

LOL Nick and Debra.

Debra, the thought of Windex kinda scares me but I'm desperate so I'll try it soon.
Thanks for the tip.

nothing has been harmed by it, Jackie and I use it all the time on everything here.. mg's included.. it is just soap and ammonia,, they love it.

hee hee

But if the morning glory can't find you,
the easiest way is to spray paint yourself
with glow-in-the-dark jelly-fish goo.

imagine trying this with moonflower vines? Actually, many years ago, the Washington Post published a do-it-yourself recipe for glowing tomatoes that exposes a newly germinated tomato still in the embryonic stage to phosphorescent bacteria in a petri dish - the stem with leaves in cotyledon stage are severed from the roots above the crown, and then both parts spend time with the bacteria in the petri dish.

Debra, I;ll try to get some spraying done tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it works.

Pretty bloom Jackie. Glad you all having fun!!
Neat bloom yesterday but it had no pollen...

Thanks Helena. Love your beautiful bloom. Looks like it couldn't
decide what it wanted to be when it grew up. Very pretty

Psychedelic! I'm diggin' the purple hues, Helena; Debra's Datura; and Jackie's Hige!

I got nothin' blooming today in the way of MG's, but have lotsa buds forming on the vines under gro-lights!

Thanks Jackie, Debra and Nick. My last bloom will be hard to top from what I have blooming now.

I like your higes Jackie, their neat blooms. Hope to see your blooms under gro-light Nick.

More pink today.

Pretty blooms Helena. I'm partial to the pink. :-)

My Jordin Rose still throwing a bloom every now and then.
A pretty striped pattern, a cross perhaps.

Thanks Jackie and Debra. I like the pinks too.

Very nice bloom Jackie. I agree Debra very cheerful!

This is a lavender mutant bloom from Karen2005.

oh that is very nice, Helena, and very unique!

Yes nice to see a mutant bloom Helena.

Thanks Debra and Jackie.

Here's what bloomed today.

And this one too.

Oh I like both of those Helena. The pretty purple with some blizzard going on is a really nice color.
Is that gorgeous pink from Pink Porcelain or its cross?

Is this a tri-color seed pod? I haven't seen one in so long, lol

beautiful sight for tired eyes, Helena.
gosh Jackie, I have no clue ,,,, looks like what I had on my HB..

Thanks Debra. If you had this type pod on Heavenly Blue which is a tri-color then yes thats what I have.
This has to be from my Blue Star that grew on the fence.

Edited to add this was purchased as a pkt of Flying Saucers. This is from one of those
companies that always has them mis-labeled.
