I have two that have just shown up in my yard. I left them to grow to see what they'd become, and here is one of two. Both have put out seeds, so I collected a few just to have on hand for next year.
Any idea if these have a name? They're pretty in that they seem to have a star in the center at the creases.
And here is the second one. They may be the same, and the lighting is just different, but they're growing on opposite sides of my yard.
Forgot to mention ... I didn't plant these. They just showed up ... my guess is they were "dropped" by a little birdie.
Thanks much for any help you can provide in identifying these two.
They're pink purpurea's both of them. One a dark rosy rambler
and the other a lighter version. Both are variations of Crimson Rambler.
Love the darker one.
jlj072174 - Welcome! I agree with Jackie ... looks like different variations of Crimson Rambler to me: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/51631/
Thanks so much for the info. I don't know anything about morning glories, though in glancing through the pictures on here, they are so pretty (I love the blue varieties!).
These are putting out seeds, so I'll save some in case anyone might want some, or for starts next year. These plants just came out out of nowhere, but I don't want them going too nuts in my yard and choking other things out. Perhaps a few of them in pots next year placed in strategic areas of the deck might be nice. :)
jlj - You are right about those I. purpureas getting a little aggressive. Pots work great for that species of MG! Yours are very pretty! Sounds like the birds left you a surprise this year! :-)
Love that Dark Crimson Rambler!!!
Very pretty, now u r hooked. welcome to the world of morning glorys!
