That's a lovely set of blues Debra, but please STOP SCREAMING ;-)

I was really disappointed with my I. Hederifolia Lutea, because it only produced masses of leaves - little did I know it only needed to reach the end of the trellis to explode (pic 1&2). maybe its just the light, but i'd guess its a hormonal thing - with the tips of the vines communicating: no more way to climb, let's concentrate on flowers.

Pic 3 shows my purpurea volunteer which obviously couldn't count to 5. I've read one can breed daylillies to produce more mis-counted flowers (though it's base 4 instead of base 3 with them, not 6/5 as here) do you experts know if that's possible to do so with Morning Glories?

Pic 4 adds one of my favorite non-Ipomoea single day flowers: Tigridia Pavonia. By the way, that was the first red one this year, after loads of yellows and whites. looks like Tigridias take their regeneration year color-wise ;-)
