Morning Glories 2010 #07

It is very warm here now and I am feeding every 2 weeks with a 5 10 5, they are moving but like watching paint dry! It's rainy season right now and the days are cloudy, when the sun does shine they are in full sun 10am-5pm but they wilt in the heat!

Thanks Debra.
I agree with Becky, probably the weather. We had a cool spring too. We have no rain but blazing
hot days near 100 degrees. MY mg's are stifled but sooner or later, I
should get lots of blooms, you too Jon. :-)

Weird Sazanami, dark sd.
Part of a small grow-out for Karen, Gardener 2005

Saw this cute little bloom this morning. Didn't expect one because this plant haven't even vined up yet. Tag is no longer there but it's either a Hatsu Arashi or it's one of Dany's mixed seeds.

Jon - They WILL wilt on hot days. But usually bounce right back once the sun goes down or they are watered. Mine wilt every other day because I only water every other day. They are all in self-watering containers and it takes two days for the containers to empty. They can be wilted all day until late afternoon when I water them and they come right back like nothing happened. LOL! Beautiful and tough vines!

Jackie - That is a unusual bloom on Karen's grow-out. The color and the rays are different than the typical. I wonder what the future blooms will look like. Keep us posted on that one! Very pretty!

Nicole - I have a blue NOID here too. But the blooms are HUGE. I have no idea which blue it is, but it a bright blue like yours!

well I finally caught one, they have been closed up before work, and closed up scrunched by 6 pm after work, this one is on the patio so I didn't miss the second one, I did miss the first one, and when I got home this evening, it was a lavender colour..

mine is not big big. It's a JMG though, so it's a good size, but I am pretty sure it's smaller than Akatsuki no Murasaki. It's a beautiful bright blue with a tinge of pink/lavender on the throat before turning white. Picture doesn't do it justice.

I can't wait to see all the ones I have going. nicole the one from you that bloomed first bloomed again, but after I went to work, and was folded up tight when I returned home..dang it/

Thanks Becky. I agree the bloom on that Sazanami is not typical, it
must be a cross. You know I will send pics of all blooms. lol
Nice light blue Debra.
Pretty Hatsu Nicole

I had a Calystegia unknown volunteer this spring. I decided to let it have a chance at life and I am glad I did not rip it out of the ground. This morning it made a double soft pink flower and it is a plant that I had thought I had watered into oblivion last year. It made the nicest rose-like pink flower. I can't begin to express my joy in seeing it still in this world.

Joseph

Congrats, Joseph I am happy for you! I have seen them on here and they are beautiful.

I'm happy for you too Joseph. The blooms are lovely.

My Weird Sazanami, dark sd, made the same flower this am. A cross for sure. If Karen says I can name it, I'll call it Sazanami Sport

Silky Blue from Emma's seeds. It's a beauty.

Sazanami LF002. So hoping for one like Becky's beauty last season.

Mauve Silk, I love it, thanks Emma

I liked the pattern in the grey color of this dusky JMG that opened up this morning.

Beautiful!

Jackie - I believe that you will definitely get a beautiful vine and lots of the blooms you want on your Sazanami LF002. Lucky you that your blooms are blue!!! The Sazanami cross is so odd. It doesn't seem to have many of the Sazanami characteristics as I would expect. I wonder what they were crossed with? They came from Karen? Your Mauve Silk is lovely, too! As are all of them.

Joseph - Nice gray blizzard bloom photo.

Beautiful blooms Jackie and Joseph!!

Thanks Helena.
Becky, thanks, all of the Saz sds Karen shared with me were op, so no telling
who the proud papa was. lol

Silky Blue and Mauve Silk yesterday

Saz #001, lavender. So far all the 001's are lavender and all the
002's are blue. But look at the white swatches on this one.

Silky Blue

We're going here

Jackie - You are in for a treat. The lavender one will be showing that grand pattern which makes it so unusual and beautiful! Get your camera ready! :-) :-) :-)

Becky, Oh my gosh, I hope you're right.!!! :-) If its anything like that beauty you grew last yr, I will be so happy.

I really like that one!

I love the bright green leaves on this one.

Debra - That is a really lovely vine and bloom! Nice contrast of colors! :-)

Thanks Debra, lovely vine you're growing. Blue Star of India I assume.
Before I enlarged it, I thought it was Xiong's.

yes, the seeds I planted here are seeds I recieved from bluespiral Last Year. I am waiting for other blooms on mutant blue ray, BAW, P bush, Danys Mix, and well, alot more.

Sweet looking flowers, Debra!

Here is N35 showing a lovely blizzard effect in its dazzling blue flower.

Here is N29, with an equally dazzling blue and bright white tube. You can't have too much blue in the garden.

Here is a photo of the double pink Calystegia I was describing earlier in one of these threads. The flowers have staying power, the first ones that opened earlier are still on the plant looking nice after a couple of days.

wow, the Calystegia is beautiful!!!

Here is an update of my Akatsuki no Umi x Early call pink cross, it's very happy and it's putting on one heck of a show, around 50-60 blooms a day! back side of the fence.

Here is a more clear picture of the enormous stalk of the 3-way cross, just mulched the plant with new grass clippings.

Here are my large-flowered i. nils from Burpee's sunrise mix. The white one with the red center is seeming to be putting out a lot of flowers.


Tony

Here is pink shibori

Here's one on the same plant with lighter-colored streaks.

Here is one of my experimentations that I'm trying to attempt, to cross i. hederacea with i. nil. I heard that they were the closest related species of ipomoea.

i. hederacea on the left and Early pink (i. nil) on the right, i. nil will be the female parent while i. hederacea is the male parent if all goes well.
