Good Morning Violet, same as Sun Smiles?

I thought the sweet potato vines flowers looked a little bit like the lavender moonvine.

Thank you.

beautiful!

I think you're right Nicole. Very pretty

This one is for Jackie and Debra. Aren't these flowers to die for?

Joseph, you know I love the white with pink eye. Its drop dead
gorgeous.

Look at this volunteer that popped up out of a mix I collected a few years ago. My jaw dropped when I saw this one!

I think the gray flowered volunteer is a morph of this particular one, without the gene for blue color being expressed.

Lastly, a dazzling electric pink for you pink flower lovers.

Oh my goodness those blooms are drop dead gorgeous, thanks for making my day today.

Joseph, The gray bloom is a beauty, definitely a jaw dropper which is
my favorite type of bloom. lol
The lovely pink is covered in a sprinkling of Star Dust. Wonderful
blooms you're getting this season.

Thanks, Debra and Jackie. I really appreciate the feedback from you.

Joseph

WOW!!! A gray flower!!! That is sooo cool!!! I had never seen one before.

Pensacola, how many seedling you plant in one pot? do you keep the two in each compartment together?

Lots of stunning blooms!!! Thank you everyone!

This is a hige of some sort, I didn't look at the tag in the pot ..first bloom on the vine in there..

Debra, lovely dark color.

Wonderful blooms Joseph.

Very nice one Debra.

Purple Dawn cross??

Purple Speckled.

A nice choco mix.

Thanks, Helena, you have some healthy looking plants there in your garden.

Helena, great blooms. I will be getting blooms one of these days. lol

This JMG was actually closer to red, but photographed pinkish red. It is another one from a mix I grew several years ago, although for the life of me, I do not remember this colored flower being in the container. It appears a bit like Dainagon, which I think I grew that year, too. It is a big flower JMG, and stayed open all day to sunset.

I really liked this blue, another variant from the same mix that gave the red one just shown.

Do MG's flowers last just for one day?

Most Japanese morning glories will not even remain open past noon. The red one I just posted stayed open because it was a relatively cool day today. It would most likely have closed earlier if it had been a very hot day today.

Some species, such as Ipomoea obscura, will open up in the afternoon, and then there are the species that open up near sunset.

That is sad...

I was able to catch this one at noon when I came home for lunch.

Joseph, love the large pink and its lacy look. So pretty.

Debra, great flaked bloom.

Some very nice blooms y'all are posting! Interesting colors on some of them, too! Looks like the season is getting into full swing now! Keep those photos coming! :-)

Thanks, Becky. Debra, it is nice to see the flaked flower being expressed as we expect it to look, it is quite nice.

Here is an update on my large flowered i. nils

Tony

The one in the middle is about to flower. I believe it's tye-die pink, the one I've longed for.

the entire middle plant.

The one on the left. I just mulched them with grass clipping and fertilized them with my homemade banana peel tea with epsom salt added. There are just perking up.

I like your pink centered flower Joseph. Food for the eyes:-)

Tony

The one on the right

Thanks Joseph, Jackie, Becky and Debra, everyone.
I'm happy with my healthy vines so far.

Fuji no Monet.

A little bug damage on leaves of this one but the bloom made up for it.

WB with lots of blooms!

Does anyone know if tie-dye pink is very fussy about making seeds? Just curious.
