Morning Glories 2013 #13

will Grandpa Otts reseed itself zone 6?

Debra--

Most of my house is crammed full of stuff....

The shop is pretty big. This is the end I keep all my garden stuff in.

I have a BIG table in the middle where I do all my potting and such.
My Two Clivias also spend the winter on this table under the shop
lights during the day.
It is full of many other things too, Gotta have someplace to keep all
the not-usable stuff...AAAHHHHH...never mind.....:o(
G.

Grandpa Ott will reseeds itself until the cows come home!

I grew one in 2007--and the seeds are still coming up.
It WAS beautiful! Climbed almost to my 2nd store windows.

Can't comment on zone 6 though. Doesn't seem that much colder.
Just one zone away...
Gita

Well border 6 and 7,mine only grew 3 to 4ft,well no cows here but horses for sure!!!

Some blue dawn in a pot.. I saw a hum bird moth on these guys and carpenter bees love these send only one of the Brugs, cypress gardens, they seemed to ignore the other Brugs flowers. I'm working in this area this morning, everything is still outdoors.

Nice purpurea Gita. The purpureas will reseed in zone 5/6 that I know of, the slid purpureas are all over the place in zone 4 and 5. Other cold species mgs are usually very invasive and will strangle your other plants. Very difficult to get rid of theses guys..

Lovely spoke types Debra and Kikyo
Pretty Blue Dawn flowers A.

Small Blushing Bride in the g house.

Quite a few purps open this am.

Yeal I had to untangle my tall 6ft salvias from the purps this summer.. was taking them all down, don't plant them with your flowers thats for sure ugh.

Every year charlies morning glorys would come up from the previous year so I knw yours will come back too, Tropicman.
Back to work!

pretty, Jackie, and That Blue dawn is beautiful, A. I had to say something before I drove back to work.. keep posting pics!

All pretty blooms!

Love your blue dawn A. and pretty blooms Jackie.

Thanks Debra and Helena.

Lovely bloom Helena with all those different colors and speckles too. :-)

Seeds, just bought in Japan !
Hope the photos don't lie!

Nice choice Dany they are really nice. Did you find them on Ebay?

On Yahoo japan in Japan !

Wonder if they ship to the U.S.

Beautiful blooms Dany

Outstanding, Dany!
here are a few blooms from years past.

Gorgeous blooms revisited Debra.
The last one is a beauty.

Heres one of my favorites, your unknown in August. I love it.

That one is really pretty with it's dark stripes. I hope we all see bloom pics all winter.

debra--

I don't grow MG's--as I have very limited space--but I love all yours!
The only place I could grow one is at one corner of my shed.
There is a big pot there--a potentially good spot.

Do you have seeds from any of your pretties? If yes--I will have to choose one...
They can be sent in a reg envelope foe one stamp...

Beautiful blooms Dany, Debra and Jackie.

Windy and cold here this morning. A cool new look to my purpurea.

Thanks Helena, pretty bloom. I love the split petal blooms we get in the cooler temps.

Deb, I sent the wrong pic. That was my no Mai. Here's your lovely pink unknown

I have a few i nils Gita, those are the bigger prettier ones that are not quite as agressive as the i purpurea. I would love to see you grow some of my seeds out. Would not be able to ID them , tho, I am horrible at names of all these blooms.

I like: Blue with white stripes, and pink and white stripe, and lavender with purple star, for ID names LOL

Getting ready to hit the sack, I work in a few hours, didn't have to be to work till one Friday, so I slept until 11:45.. still made it to work by 1 pm.

Helena, that is a cool look to that bloom, is it getting chillier there? We had 51 mph at 65 degrees today.

Jackie, your no mais are always a treat to see. And that NOID is pretty, too. Sat and sorted another big tray of dried seed heads tonight in my lazyboy while watching tv with Joe after work, now those are done and my Living room is trashed.

these are from October of 2012, my sister was here, we had a good week that year. I miss her a ton right now..

Debra--

I am not a "names" person either.
Now--"Nils" seems a variety of MG--vs, Purpurea. Correct?
I could use a "beyyer behaved" one by my shed--as it does not have
a lot of space to climb.

I like #4 the best. I like strong colors....
I will be happy to get a few seeds of that one from you.
Will reimburse you for postage.

Thanks, Gita

All very pretty Debra. Love Blue Silk, bloom #1

Nice blooms everyone, Dany, I love that tie-dye blue from Japan.

Nice blooms everyone!

MG's and my confederate rose from white to pink to soft pink!

Gorgeous MG's Helena and your Conf Rose is to die for.

Dany's # 8
Pres Bush
My favorite Ivy
Turk caps from sds, thanks A

Patootie--

I believe your Ivy is called "Algerian ivy". Usually sold for outdoor planting--
BIG leaves...long runners/stems..

Yes?

Gita, this one is Hedera canariensis Gloire de Marengo.

well, what ever it is called, I LOVE the leaf varigation. ( on the ivy) my MIL has a hanging basket of it and she loves it.

getting ready for the 20 * temps tommorrow..
I saw some purps out back while we were cleaning, they are growing on the compost pile..
Danys #8 and PB are beautiful, always a pleasure to see your blooms, Jackie.
Helena that purple star and that satiny looking Pink are really special too.

Thanks Jackie and Debra. I am enjoying these while they bloom.

Pretty blooms Jackie, your neat ivy leaves and Turk caps seedlings look great. I'm waiting for mine to germinate too.

Only mg to open today, close up makes it appear to be a lot larger bloom than it really is.

For whatever the reason, I have not had much luck growing MG, but finally had a bloom today!

I do not know what kind it is...I was just ecstatic to get a bloom!

thats loverly, shawna congrats! welcome to the forum, hope to see you more.

I hope to get more :-)

Thanks Helena and Debra.

Love the Shibori Helena,

Congrats on your 1st bloom Shauna and a pretty one it is. :-)

Mu Fuji no Sora only made a few blooms this summer. I'll hand pollinate that one next time,
my stash is almost gone.

Nice blooms Helena and Jackie! Zone envy setting in :)
Love your light and dark blue one from 2012 Debra
Welcome to the forum Shauna, lovely color on your bloom. Did you plant it?

I had some seeds I was given that I planted, and never seemed to have any luck getting then to grow. Finally got 1 tiny vine...maybe 10 inches long that produced a bloom.

I have decent luck with just about anything else I try to grow, MG's have been my kryptonite. LOL

Shauna---
I LOVE that blue MG of yours! the gentle waves of the petals--
and the hint of white here and there.....

Lovely! Gita

Shauna, give us an idea on how your planting them, maybe we can give you some tips. They really aren't hard. I have lots of extra seeds if you want some.
