Gulf Coast blooms #4 2009

Helena , your blooms are awsome as usual, i really like that pink porcelain alot.. hope to see more from you!

Thanks Becky & Debra. I had a couple of not too bad blooms yesterday but had problems posting. My vines are declining & mostly putting their energy to seeds, only a few look ok.

Here's pink stripes.

This one has refused to make seeds.

Last one, maybe tomorrow I'll get a few blooms.

Jackie, I wondering gray star will come true from last years seeds. I didn't grow it this year so it'll be nice to see if yours.

Helena - Oh boy do I EVER know how you feel about the seedless vine. I am having the same issue with my Diluted Fuji no Muraski. I am so disappointed, but I am not giving up! I have a couple of seeds left so I shall try again!

Your Pink Stripes looks a little like Hanafubuki. Very nice, as is the last one, too! :-)

Becky,
I suggest you to make a demand urgency on a thread for seeds of a MG who looks like your DFM , to grow them together to be sure to have valid pollen .
I'm sure Emma has such a type !
Me , at the moment I have nothing like that !

Helena, those are gorgeous blooms. The one in post # 97554 above is
really special. Helena, will probably be July before I get blooms on Gray
Star. Will send pics asa it blooms

Thanks everyone.

Becky, I thought so too that it looked like Hanafubuki. I know I started 1 0r 2 from your seeds.

Jackie I'll be looking for your future pics!

Only one seed pod on this one, not too many blooms either.

Very purple, checked lable says purple smoke???

The leaves don't look good on this one & the bloom is a bit wringled.

One of the grays, last pic of the day.

Helena - This one is outstanding! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6699795

Perhaps you got a Hanafubuki seed from me. Or maybe it was a cross of some sort. Which happens all the time in my garden. :-)

Thanks Becky, I thought you would like that bloom. I tagged the bloom and the seed pod is for you. I have lots of seeds too from last year.

I got the seeds, Becky, thank you so much. All the company has left, mom had a wonderful 90th birthday celebration, so I hope to plant today.

A nice bloom from seed from the one I had last year.

I have blooms from at least 6 rose silk, chocolate silk and Porcelain vines so only posting one pic since they pretty much are repeat blooms.

This one is from Emma, not sure of the ID

Love the dark pink star bloom, so pretty.

I really like that one third post up.. all of them are very pretty..

Thanks Jackie and Debra.

Got a nice blooms from Dany's Mutant today.

A nice blizzard blue.

And last a purple.

ohhhs I like that mutant

Love all of those Helena.

Lovely!!! Love the bloom colors you are growing currently! Dany's Mutant is really a nice one!!!

Thank you Debra, Jackie and Becky.

I guess I can post a few repeats of today.

And the pink one

I hope this pic is ok on focus

A small bloom with stripes

I just refer this one as pretty purple for ID, it looks blue?

lovely blooms again Helena... i like the contrast between the flowers and leaves on Dany's mutant.... very nice :-)

Thanks Colin, I've got one seed from Mutant so far.

A very nice bloom from Incredible Blue Blizzard.

Second vine with Fujishibori bloom

Sorry it's repeat bloom

Last repeat bloom for today of Plum Surprise.

Helena - Very nice show of blooms! I love the purple freckled one! ;-) :-) Are you growing all of them in pots? I see the one above in a pot. If so, they are doing remarkably well for pots!!!

Becky thanks, yes I'm growing all my mg's in pots. I only planted one Blue Frost in the ground before I left for LA. My poor mg's maybe some will recover now that I'm home. Some are done blooming & have a few seeds left to dry. I'm still debating if I should go ahead & get them in the ground or not. We need rain here bad. I did start some other ones to grow again and I'm also finding reseeders in the pots too. I should sow seeds along the fence & let them grow wild!

I really Like this one, save a seed for me plz... it is really nice!

I like the fact you have mgs in pots, wish you all had some of our rain, thought I was in florida yesterday, sudden shower, then hot burning sun, then sudden shower.. burn and scald spots on plants this am..
I also like that Plum Surprise.. the coloratian is really cool.

Thanks Debra, I'll save you seeds from that one and Plum Surprise.

Well, I got another mg vine into the ground, where it'll get shade and be cooler. The bigger pots I'll probably keep as is. It's too hot to be outside now.

One vine came true finally from Blue Swirl from last years seed.
