Hope you all enjoyed blooms from my garden!!!

I did!!! you are such a good photographer, enough for a calendar here.. and that is a great idea, I think my daughter can make one. She works at a print shop. Top notch colours and details of the beautys you have shown us here.

oh and this one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7813208 is my favorite!

I love that one too Debra but I'm crazy about # 9

Thanks Debra, the one you like is from 2008 seed just a pink-lav mg. Haven't thought of a calendar but it's a neat idea.

Thanks Jackie too, it looks somewhat like Murakumo or Matsukaze which to me I can't tell them apart.

what is the #10 one?

My Aomurasakizyouhantenshibori bloomed but because of the heavy rain, it was all ratty looking, but there are tons of buds on the vines already, so I can't wait to see more!

I need to go plant the pink flaked ones too.

Well, I had posted a reply on this thread and it apparently didn't get uploaded. I wrote the post and then got interrupted and when I came back and hit the send key, it apparently had timed-out or something, so ...

Thanks, Jackie! :-)

Tony - Nice vines! What MG Cultivar are they supposed to be? I've been meaning to grow Sunflowers for the past 2 years! I really need to get my seeds out and plant, plant, plant ...

Helena - Love that Gray Star! As well as ALL of the bloom photos you posted! I have to agree with Jackie ... #9 is a simply divine!

Nicole - Beautiful Akatsu no Murasaki bloom photo from last year! Good luck with your I. purpurea flaked cultivars!

Debra - Your I. nils will be blooming before you know it! :-)

Becky the hydroponic self-watering container seems to give plants a quick boost!

John - Quick boost???? LOL! It's keeping my plants alive and thriving! :-) I love those self-watering buckets! Too bad the buckets only last 5 years before they deteriorate. I just don't have the time to paint them all. But I'll enjoy them for those 5 years! Maybe I'll hit the lotto during that time and can afford some really nice self-watering pots! ;-)

Thanks Becky, a few more today.

Nicole # 10 is Hama no Kagayaki

well I dug around and finally found my pink flaked (from Becky). Wanted to plant them (in another container) next to the purple flaked that is blooming already! Yeah!

All gorgeous Helena. Love the color on #17

Helena, already a lot of beautiful flowers!
The speckled mix of Karen, there is no blue?

Here a lot of cold rain, the soil is cold so everything is delayed.

Yahoo Japan, a beautiful collection for sale. This is the second week later i'll try to catch a few.

The KU site is not accessible since two days, maintenance?
A pic in the greenhouse.

Helena - Love the fujishibori, the LYK (which by the way is a cross with Fuji no Monet), and Karen's speckled. Is that speckled a dark pink? And those two pink blooms following the others are just lovely! I can see you smiling each morning as you walk around to check out your blooms!

Dany - Nice lavender bloom! Sorry to hear that the weather is not cooperating for you! Hopefully soon it will warm up! I check out the Japanese ebay site and am drooling ...

I think these vines are outstanding:

Another gorgeous cultivar:

And this one looks like it is a large bloom?

Makes me wish I had money and a Japanese ebay connection! :-)

here is the second bloom from the Early call pink x Akatsuki no Umi cross. The bloom is a little larger about 4'' and the pattern has changed into a ray-like form.


Tony

very pretty, it looks like a tee shirt tie-dye. Here is my only MG bloom today. So excited and I soaked the pink flaked seeds last night, so I'm ready for planting! Also, my BLACK hollyhock (The Watchman) bloomed today! It is so pretty!!!

Yes, it does look like a psychedelic T-shirt tie-dye pattern.


Tony

I had a Pink shibouri bloom today, but was too busy to photo it. Took two vines with buds to sis in laws house. Hope she takes care of them this time. I moved this Obscura to a fence today.

Tony and Nicole - Such beautiful eye-candy! Love both and their vivid colors!

Debra - Nice and healthy vine! May your SIL value your plants as much as you do! :-)

Here is just a few of mine. This one of course is the Blue Speckled from Antoinette.

Silver Wolf.

Nice blooms Dany, Tony and Nicole

Mika no Mai x Fuji no Beni blooms.

Becky, I love the blue speckled, so special.
Silver wolf is very pretty too. I have one of those coming along.
Hope my blooms are as nice as yours.
Edited to say that last one is a beauty too.

Suigetsu from Karla.

Can't remember the name of this one...

That vine was loaded with blooms this morning! Sheesh!
