Morning Glory Pics #14

so pretty

Very pretty blooms scicciarella, I like them too.

Pink Mist not quite worthy of posting but this is how a lot of my blooms are opening.

I couldnt believe how big this bloom is

this is the leaf for that large bloom and the buds to the left are what they look like before they open

It is great to see people enjoying their blooms!

Today is a perfect day here in my garden all sunny, warm and quiet except the birds are signing. The mocking bird I have got to know sings a song that sounds like"whatcha say? whatcha say? and it also makes a cell phone like ring. Harvest time is here or near. Birds are migrating and time is changing things slowly. Karen

i wish i had blooms to loon at. its hot and muggy here. had bad rain storms go through last night. thought i was gonna be washed away. tv 2-3 inches an hour more like a flood every hour.


i love watching my mocking bird. she been in same tree every year now. kinda possesive. and the hummers i love watching them.

not ready for winter yet though.

Helena, I love your
FS too and it does look like a cross with Blue Star, very pretty. I
would love a few sds. Love the big pink bloom Helena,
very shimmery.
Lovely blooms Mona. That last one looks like Setosa, so pretty.
Like your pink with a star too.
2 tags in this one, Purp Blizz and a tag from Joseph with a mile long name... Ao Fuiri semiba mizuasagi hakeme murazaki

Helena, forgot to mention, I am getting the deformed blooms every day too.Today it's the light blue Fuji and Lav Chiffon. Yesterday it was
this Rose Picotee.

I love this one. Pink Tie Dye or a look a like.

Yaguruma Blizzard

Jackie - Thanks for saving some seeds for me! :-)

Helena - I would love to have a few seeds of this one, too: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7047008
Oh boy! You got some beauties blooming like crazy right now! Love all the different colors you have! Very, very nice!!

Mona - Wow! You, too, have some awesome looking blooms there! This one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7047027 is really pretty! I hope you get seeds from it! I'd love to trade you for a few! :-) Does it have heart-shaped leaves?

Helena and Jackie - I, too, am getting deformed blooms. My Diluted (NOT!) Fuji no Muraski is producing some twisted blooms. More so, than not! :-/ Hmmm ...

Jackie - I love your Pink Tie-dye and your Yaguruma Blizzard. Both are lovely!!! Nice selection of vines you are growing at this time! Makes it worthwhile to get up first thing in the morning to go check your vines out, doesn't it?!!

Here is a photo of my twisted Fuji no Muraski.

I found my list, so now I know what cultivar is each of my blooms and who I got them from! Yay!!!

This one is Silver Shadows Blizzard from Helena. Thanks, Helena! :-)

This is another from Helena. This one is called Mauve Splash. Very pretty! Thanks for seeds for this one, too, Helena! :-)

On the same vine was this one too! Nice variations on each bloom. :-)

I am absolutely in love with this one! This is apparently the true Sazanami from Japan. I bought the original Japanese seed packet from Onalee's. I was expecting blue flowers, but instead got lavender/purple blooms! I love it!!!

I get 3-5 huge blooms on that vine every day! It is gorgeous! The Japanese sure created some winners!

One last photo of Sazanami to give you a perspective of just how big the blooms really are compared to my hand! Nice large sized flowers!

Pink Morning Glory Bush. Seeds from Lazlo. :-) Love it when it blooms in flushes like this! :-)

Ishidatami from my F1 grow-out! This photo shows a new bloom (blue) and yesterday's wilting bloom (pink).

This one is an F1 volunteer of Matsukaze. The bloom is bigger than the entire vine! LOL! I need to dig it up and transplant into better soil. :-)

Hot Pink Kikyo! This was one of Dany's mystery seeds. :-)

Blue and Purple Henka. Seed from Dany. Thanks again, Dany! I am enjoying all the mystery vines and their beautiful blooms! :-)

My F1 Diluted (NOT!) Fuji no Muraski showing a nicely shaped bloom. :-)

But ... lower on the same vine, there is a bloom that DOES look more Diluted! So who knows if this vine will give me some really nice diluted blooms eventually. Fingers crossed!! And am hoping this vine will give me lots of seeds, too!

The color-blocked leaf vine is still producing solid white blooms. No color-block flowers at all. Maybe in the future F1 seeds. Hopefully, I will get seeds from this vine. So far, none of the blooms have produced seed pods. I may have to cross this one to get seeds. Which is okay by me!!!

And last photo is not of a MG. It is a corkscrew vine bloom. So cool! I love the smell of these blooms too! :-) The seed came from Elsa! Thanks so very much, Elsa!!! :-) This vine has blooms all over it! I love it! :-)

Beautiful!!!! all of them, I can't wait to get home and see my blooms.. *sigh*

Becky gorgeous blooms all. Love the Silver Shadows Blizzard
and Mauve Splash from Helena.
The Dark Sazanami is incredible. Never seen anything like it.

Pretty blooms Jackie, I like your yaguruma blizzard.

Becky your blooms are gorgeous. I'll have seeds of FS-blue star for you. Already collected a few and since it started blooming again I'll be looking for more seeds of it.

First bloom on Murakumo, sorry again hope for better blooms later on. Not much else blooming today.

Helena, Unusual bloom on Murakumo, very pretty though.

Fuji no Beni, gorgeous color on this one

I`m really enjoying the pictures. I do love the pretty colors and variety. Karen

Becky, my Fuji no Murasaki is also making the deformed blooms.
At least the first bloom as shown in post ending #381 is deformed,
twisted.
Whatever is eating on my lvs could be causing the deformed
blooms. It's taking out all the green coloring, the chlorophyll, and leaving a see thru skeleton of the leaf or part of the leaf.

lovely lovely colours and blooms all..

wow, the sazanami is beautiful! adding it to my wish list...

Helena - Thanks! And thank you for collecting some seeds of your FS/Blue Star cross. :-) Lovely blooms you posted today! :-) Your Murakumo is an interesting bloom! I look forward to seeing more blooms from that vine!

Jackie - Your Fuji no Beni is really lovely! Nice white spokes on that one! :-) My twisted blooms seem to be coming from healthy vines. Not sure what is going on here. I am thinking my blooms are caused from all the in-crossing that has been done on this cultivar. My leaves look nornal on my vines.

Thanks, y'all! I am hoping I get lots of seeds to share.

So far though the Sazanami is not producing any viable seed pods. I may have to cross it. Very low pollen production from the blooms so far. I often wonder if the seeds from Japan have been treated with some kind of reproduction retardant to prevent seed production. I know that potatoes are treated with something similiar. So why not seeds, too? You just have to wonder given how healthy this vine and all the blooms seem to be. Why wouldn't it produce seeds? Got me stumped. I am going to cross it with my white blooming block-color vine and also the other NOID white blooming vine.

I think I will grow more of the japanese ones next year they are so beautifull

Thanks Karen, Debra, Helena and Becky.

Thanks Jackie. Murakumo came from Onalee's seed from Japan, I find their seeds a bit hard to germinate. It looks just a bit like the bloom is supposed to be.

From Emma's chocolate mix first to bloom of the last six vines from the mix.
A pretty bloom to open even though it's been pouring rain here.

Chocolate mix #1

Only 2 vines with pretty blooms opened today.
