Morning Glories 2024 #04

Helena, your blooms are stunning.

These spammers are getting bold. Advertising illegal crap. I hope they get arrested.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
Jackie I tried but the info on my phone doesn't have the guides word to go to.
I'll have to go to my computer to see if I can find it there.

Spacer above Linda's post.
First bloom does look similar to BK.

Helena, Love the dark color of the BK or Bk lookalike.
I've reported this new spam to Melody
Let's see if I can create a link,something I'm not very good at.

From a new bloom yesterday, I can see that my last new pic was a lavender Silk.,a
very light colored bloom turning to pink as the day wore on.
Today I have a new vine opening a new bloom, The tag is marked my AOG, a special seed for me. Translates to the seed looked strange when I gathered it, a different color or something. It's a mauve color. I wonder if it was pollinated by Mauve Splash.
This seed from 2015 and the only one in my seed pkt..

Oops, forgot to send a pic of the Lavender Silk, a new bloom today.
This was the one I called softest pink yesterday (it's 1st bloom)

Wish I knew how to report them.

Beautiful blooms Helena.

I have several blooms this morning
# 1 unknown blue
# 2 I have several of these small pink blooms each day, the hummers are having a field day with these pinks, their favorite color I guess along with any reds.
# 3 hot pink maybe Debra's
# 4 LYK
# 5 Pres Bush flaked

Beautiful blooms Jackie. Love all the colors. Glad your getting blooms on your vines.

Jackie, those are so pretty. Glad the hummers like them. I wish I knew how to get hummers here in Amarillo. I have had feeders out for almost a year and a half. Plenty if flowers for them. Not one has showed up yet.

Thanks ladies.So glad to be getting blooms Helena.
Linda, I don;t know why you don;t get hummers in your area. You might check with any local Audubon Society in your area.

I have talked to other friends in different parts of town. They all have hummers. I will keep trying.

Jackie, thanks for the link. I did get to find the guide and plant files, surprised to see only 16 pages of inpomoea nils. It seems that there use to be a lot more than that. Also did find that there are lots of batatas listed but no pictures.
My only mgs this morning.

Linda, I don't know what to think about your lack of hummers
Helena, the batatas, sweet potatoes, are in the ipomoea family too.
Logees used to sell some lovely sweet potatoes, ornamental, the lovely variegated one, I haven;t seen that one offered in a while.
we see Marguerite, I think it's the green one and the pretty red leaved one in the box stores in late spring, Given enough sun, they do make pretty morning glory type flowers.
Love your tiny orange blooming mg,

Beautiful blooms Helena. Is that a cardinal vine?

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
I'm letting those mgs come up, kind of wild area. That's ipomoea coccinea, Linda. Hummingbirds love them, actually my first mg to grow around 1985.
Jackie, I was just surprised that the had so many with I'd names but no pictures.

Thanks for the name Helena. I have never heard of it before.

Helena, yes kind if surprising that they provided no pics.

Lovely swallowtail butterfly. I dont understand why we have barely had any butterfly's here, very unusual. https://iconic-vision.co.uk The 1irst warm days in May we had a few, none since to speak of.
nice to see a variation of Milky Way.

Thanks everyone. I love the visitors to my garden.
Two blooms this morning. The ipomoea nil seem a little darker than picture shows, not pink. I thought it was chocolate silk.

Helena, that's not a new post above yours. It;s my post from several days ago
They used my post and then made a link, do you see it? Don't click on it, It may be harmless, but better safe than sorry, They could have made their own post, and not hijacked mine.
Gorgeous blooms above. Love the soft pink.

The posr (mine) they stole is from the 1st day of this thread July 26

Beautiful morning glory blooms Helena.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
I did think that post was odd with a Link. I didn't click on it.
I have become a early riser. Too dark to go outside. Yesterday I did get a picture of a butterfly feeding on camelia patent. I had several different kinds in the afternoon, but they are fast flyers.
Leaving today to visit with my daughter just for the weekend.

Beautiful butterfly Helena. Enjoy your trip.

Beautiful butterfly Helena.
Hope you have a good visit with your daughter
I had pics from yesterday and today
3rd pic is the small pink that closes usually b4 I can get out there.

Beautiful blooms Jackie.
I am enjoying my visit.
Took this pictures before i left yesterday.
A hige volunteer from last year, & repeats blooms. Got to pick some zinneas flowers and a ton of seeds from this patch before its mowed down.

Beautiful blooms ladies.
How lucky to get to pick seeds. Those zinnias are pretty.

Beautiful hige volunteer Helena and lovely repeat blooms.
I love gathering seeds too.

Thanks Linda and Jackie. That was in the town that my daughter lives.
I had one bloom today and spotted my salvia lavender coccinea bloom from old seeds i thought i woundn't get to germinate.

Awesome bloom Helena. And that surprise bloom is awesome too.

Thanks Linda.

Running behind today. Pretty soft color on your mg Helena.
I remember when you grew quite a few Salvia's. We hardly
see them at the box stores anymore. I don;t think I saw impatiens or
the pretty moss that my mom loved for sale either.
A few blooms today

Pretty blooms Jackie. Im happy to see them.
I'm growing many salvias Jackie, some just taking forever to grow and bloom. My rose choco has blizzard this morning. Not sure if my pics came out blurry...

It looks more rose colored today Helena, lovely color. I had a giant Chocolate Silk if I could find my seeds b4 they get too old..
Please send pics when your other Salvia's start blooming.
I had a tiny red bloom in the tub out back, it closed before I could get out there with my camera.

Thanks Helena. Looking forward to your Salvia pics.
So dry here, it's all I can do to keep everything watered.

I had to water my plants today too. I didnt't have anymg blooms yestetday. But been working in the yard a bit.
Two blooms from 2 days ago and three from this morning.

Helena, gorgeous blooms . Love the shibori's # 1 and 3. Milky Way # 2
lovely soft color of the pink and I can tell the soft blue is striped, love it.
A day or so ago, I had something new, must have been the blue and white Fuji, it was so tiny only 2 and 1/2 inches across. I was so disappointed I didn't even bother to take pics.
Here's a few from today # 3 is growing in the ground, I keep wanting to call it Ben Chidori but don't think it is or if thats even a real name. Its from dropped seeds from last yr growing in a pot close by, can't think of it's true name,

Beautiful blooms Jackie.
I'm having a hard time remembering names now too.
My mg vines in the gh are doing good, clinbing. Hoping the bugs don't find them.

Both of your blooms are absolutely gorgeous.
