Painted Lady is Morning Star

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Hey y'all. My box store beauty has a name. It is Morning Star. Actually developed in Australia & was HOTY winner in the 90's. Morishidol the tag on this plant said, Painted Lady & I thought I sure had a pretty Painted Lady. So, I do not trust the tags from the box stores. But, it sure is nice to get a good
Hib & not just another GV & you got a real beauty. WTG

Hey Judy, even though it was tagged wrong in my opinion you came out winning with this one, very few times do you get something prettier and rare when a hib is mislabeled, wish I had your luck when I get a mislabeled hibs. I'm willing to exchange a cutting from your "Morning Star" when its big enough to cut with any off the ones I have that you like, would love this one to cross pollinate with, it really looks so gorgeous.

Thank you LoveJesus & Cheryl for your kind words. Have a good weekend everyone.
After desperately needing rain we now have flash flooding.

You are so welcome. I would love to find that one in a store.

Keep safe and hopefully yjr rain will become 24 hours of a long steady soaking rain.

Blessings,
