Dany's MGs 2010 part 1

My technique to perform manual fertilization.
The problem is that I only have 2 hands,one third would be welcome to take the camera.

First bloom of Purple Smoke from Emma.

It could be Fuji no Monet?
Variegated foliage?

Here is one of yours from the seeds you sent in the MGs swap. Do you recognize? It is so pretty. Photo doesn't do it justice. Light blue with a tinge of pink meeting white throat and white edge.

All your MG blooms are just beautiful. Especially love the marble variegated leaves and the Drizzling Blue!!!

Really nice blooms Dany.

Dany - I always like those interesting, non-conforming leaves on some of the unusual cultivars. I look forward to seeing what the blooms look like. :-)

I don't think your one blooming vine is Fuji no Monet ... the rays are usually more defined. But it might be a cross of that vine or possibly a vine with Youjiro genes. My Fuji no Monet also had solid green leaves. (See attached photo.) Very pretty!

Nicole - I had a vine from Dany's mix too that looked just like yours! :-) It is very lovely!

Nicole, nice bloom!
Becky, so i have a No Fuji no Monet. snif... snif

Here is Ipomoea Indica "Edit Piaf " blooming.

A very dark electric velvet blue attracts attention.

Large pink flower - compared with purpurea.

I guess it's a different form of Sazanami.

Gorgeous blooms Dany. Love the pink and the indica.
Nice different form of Sazanami too, its very pretty.
Missed Nicole's lovely blue above.

Dany - I love your "Edit Piaf ".

And that light Sazanami looks promising. Please post future bloom photos. I'd like to see if it eventually produces some more patterns on the blooms.

And you know I am a sucker for Pink! I love your large I. nil bloom! NICE!!!!

It seems you need different cultivars of I. indica to cross-pollinate to get seeds.

Dany, your blooms are beautiful and I look forward to seeing blooms of the Danys Mix I have growing.

Here is my first Black King Hybrid.

There is a second flower that had a little trouble to open.

This cultivar with strange leaf http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2010/06/27/dany12/8b142d.jpg is blooming today.

An other bloom.It's also an hybrid.

Yesterday I finally received some cultivars from KU.When ordered cultivars are not available, they are replaced. I ordered Q1250 and received Q1210 (Benkei) I already had.Grrrrr.....( NO I'm not like that ! I'm so happy - it's a miracle! )

Here is the first bloom of Blue Cristal .

East Girl so flashy !
p.s. : as you can see the gene "pr" intervened - blue line.

Trilobed purpurea.

An other with very very large marge ! LOL

For tomorrow I think I can find the red version of this very rare variety.

Dany, Blue Cristal is gorgeous as is the pink East Girl.
Love the extra wide margin bloom too.
The blues are fabulous.

Dany - Is this one of your creations? http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7934681 If so, it is outstanding!!!!

I also like the Blue Cristal. Is the main bloom color yellow or white? Beautiful!

And your first Black King cross is really neat! I like it! You did a great job on that one!!! :-)

The leaf on your Trilobed purpurea is cool! I like how the leaf shapes are transcending the norm with both I. purpureas and I. nils. I love the leaf shape on Pink Silk from the seeds that you shared with me from last year's grow-outs! Really a lovely vine. Thank you again! :-)

Dany, I like your blooms they are fabulous. Keep them coming.

Dany, I hope you get some seeds from East Girl. I am not fond of Pinks, but that one is so pretty. I would love to have an East Girl in this Kansas Garden.

There will be!

Dany,

This http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7937531 is a real beauty!

So pretty in pink. I'm in line too. :-)

Yes, thank you.
It is an 8 petaloïds and despite the fact that sometimes until 3 stamens are transformed into small flags, fertility seems to me very good.

Your large ruffled pink bloom is very elegant. Looks like petals of royalty! :-)

Dany your blooms are awesome.

Jon

Dany, I hope to see some more blooms soon.

Enough already.

I spent the better part of a half-hour today deleting inflammatory and off-topic posts, leaving the photos intact.

This is notice to all watching and reading this thread that the petty bickering and sniping needs to end now; if it doesn't, we will start revoking memberships. There will be no more advisory warnings or private counseling to change your behavior.

I can promise that any such revocations will be done swiftly and fairly. To put it bluntly, I have no particular fondness or enmity for those on either side of the dispute. But I am issuing this notification with all seriousness and fully intend to carry it out, regardless of how any forum participant interprets our actions as being for or against either side. Do not put me or the admin team to the test on this.

I'm sorry it's come to this, but these grudges are years old, and the rest of the forum participants are tired of watching them played out here, and quite frankly the admin team is tired of trying to reason with, placate and cajole both sides into acting like reasonable adults.

Settle these disputes amongst yourselves privately offline, off DG - whatever. Or decide to *politely* ignore one another going forward. Or find another place to do battle.

But DG and this forum is no longer your personal battleground. I trust that is clear to all involved. If it isn't, contact me privately because I will not engage in a war of wills or attempt to win over the court of public opinion.

And if you're not part of the battle, don't ask for details - you don't want to know. I caution you to steer clear of the entire mess if you are not in the thick of it.
