I saved the seeds from my sisters MG in WV...started them inside...put them in the ground yesterday and was rewarded with a bloom this morning...OK so it did have a bud already!!

Does anyone know the name of this MG? Thanks...Jo

Hi Jo! Welcome the MG Forum! :-)

Hard to say with I. purpureas because many MGs do cross-pollinate, but here is one possibility:

Looks like it might be a diluted form of Star of Yelta: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/239184/

Thanks, Becky...I think you're right...I had some seeds of the Star of Yelta when I first got on DG...actually they were sent to me in a Friendship box sent to my by folks here when my DH died...My DD grew them for a while...but this is my first time growing MG...I also have Rose Silk sent to me by my good friend,Gourd....I can't wait for them to bloom.
