Morning Glories: for the love of purpurea #3

Joseph - Lovely vine and bloom! Where does this Ipomoea purpurea Azul-Zapotec hail from that makes it such a rare purpurea cultivar? The 3-lobed leaves are rather unusual.

It was collected in Mexico, I believe. Thanks, Becky.

Beautiful flower Joseph.

Karen, LOL with " Poodle Purpurea " or " Bichon Purpurea "
The poodle has become so rare in Europe today.

I préfert what kind of dog, no maintenance!

Here is a place where thy sell White Teresa Purpurea in California.

Last summer I had a trilobed purpurea (I think Kniola's Black) that I cross with all purpureas volunteers on the garden. 10 different crossing, only 4 have been fruitful - Joyce Cobb, Shibori Purple Flacked and 2 other unknown with only an production of two seeds each.Crossing with purpurea is difficult.
How do I know if this effect "lobed" at purpurea is a cross with Ipomoea Nil or simply a spontaneous mutation.( I think it's a mutation )
In the Kyushu collection there are several Purpurea lobed. (Q 1152, 53, 54, 68, 61 ... etc ...)

Nice one Joseph! I love the dark blue!

If anyone is interested in growing out the White Purpurea I have some to share....they all don't come out squarish though.

Thanks, Ronnie.

I grew out a seed of some of the trilobed purpurea Kyushu strains this winter, and all were cordate shaped. The flowers were different from the reference photo too, except for 1, which leads me to believe they had some busy pollinators in that big growing field.

Thanks from me, too, Ronnie.

Joseph, do you think that the shift from trilobe to cordate shapes of your Ipomoea purpurea cultivars from Kyushu U might also have resulted from environmental conditions under which theirs and yours were grown? From what you've said before, it does look like Kyushu U may be having some open pollination issues, but I'm still wondering if environment could cause a purpurea leaf shape to shift like that, too.

Dany, I can't wait to see the results from your lobed purpurea crosses. Thanks for those links - those Kyushu images are always awesome. My computer won't access videos, but I'm sure your pooch one was a hoot.

Joseph that MG is a beauty. I love the colour.
Ronnie that white with pink is awsome.
thanks to all for sharing, while I shiver with the snow. Down here tho, it seems like summer. ( Basement Garden is all lit up)

Joseph - A Mexican I. purpurea, huh? I wonder if it grows to the Mexican Hat Dance song! ;-)

Dany - LOL! about your no maintenance kinda doggie! Too funny! The likelihood of a cross between an I. nil and an I. purpurea is pretty rare. That would be a tough one to ID the species or if it was a possible cross. I can't help ya with that one at all. I've tried and tried to cross I. nil with I. purpurea and have had absolutely NO LUCK whatsoever. So I think it is a rare seed to be made.

Ronnie - Wow! Isn't that a pretty one! Love the light pastel pink in that white bloom.

Debra - What's the temperature in your basement?

DANY: wanted to say ...http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7406115 ...NICE Bloom!!
HAPPY 2010 to all ~~
:D

Beautiful dark bloom and a wonderful pic Darren.

very pretty flower, Darren - all it needs is one of those mechanical hummingbirds of Dany's...maybe one that floats where it's s'posed to, without propellers?

Happy New Year to you too, Darren! Love your bloom! What striking colors! Looks a little like Rebecca I. purpurea. :-)

lovely photo Darren.. Happy New Year to all of you here at DG.. love getting my morning glory fix here.....
Becky I keep basement about 65 to 70 here.. but under the lights it jets up to a balmy 76
most of the time..
I wear my sunglasses at night I leave the lights on for 12 hours, move the angle to follow the sun during the day, total dark at night.

that IS a joke about the song, 'sunglasses at night' right, Debra?
:D

heh.. well.. I am glad you recoginized that lyric.. ;D
I now have four i. purps vining, have no clue what is what yet. They came out of a "mix" can.

Suspicions confirmed, the Ao MURASAKI Jo Hanten Shibori really PURPLE does exist it would have spontaneously appeared in Japan in 2006.

Here are some pictures.

And I do not think this is a photo of Aomurasakijohantenshibori taken the morning after.

How long will it take to be able to cultivate at home ?

Pics from Japan.

My Jo Hanten shibori looked a lot like Jamie Lynn and no Hikari.
My sds from Joseph. I only grew one sd, no telling what a 2nd
seed might have produced.

I grew one a few seasons ago purchased as Aomurasaki.

my Ao MURASAKI Jo Hanten Shibori did have the really nice purple stripes and I loved it. Alot.
