Morning Glories 2010 #12

Gerris, thanks for the explanation, just a way of tracking an " unnamed" MG

Pretty blooms Emma and Joseph.

Joseph - Your Flying Sparks reminds me of the JMG 'Yuuzuki': http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/91248/

Jackie - You must be enjoying all the pink blooms since that is one of your favorite colors of flowers! :-)

Here is my Hanafubuki. Been waiting on this vine to bloom. It is so pretty and the flower is so big!!! Many more buds on this vine! So excited to finally see some blooms on my MG vines.

Close but no ceegar on Flying Spark being Yuuzuki.
Congrats on your vines making flowers, LiliMerci, the show is only beginning.

Becky, I'm starved for pink. LOL It's not like I didn't plant some pinks, not
a one of them came up. :-(

The Hanafubuki is a beautiful deep pink. It looks more purple in the photo. It's almost 3 now and the flower is still holding it's shape. Usually, it would be all wilted by now. May be it's partially protected by the pergola.

Nicole,
Love your Hanafubuki. Really pretty.
Is this by chance out of a seed pack, or a trade where it may have been crossed?
Either way I love it!


Here is Blue-White Dilute Blizzard-Fuji from this am

F2 Cross still true of
Kai no Kasumi x Fujishibori = Purple-Raspberry Speckled

Fujishibori Dark Form

First blooms today on this vine

Light Blue Kikyo

Emma, The Hanafubuki came from the MG seeds swap. Oh, I'm so embarrassed, I just looked up the picture and it looked nothing like that. May be I labeled it wrong. I have more buds so I'm curious to see what will bloom. I think I only have 1 vine.

Nicole - Your bloom photo looks similar to my P. Bush cross. I did send seeds for that one in the swap. Perhaps you got the label mixed up?

This is my P. Bush cross from 2008.

here is my 3-way cross (Early call blue x pink) x large-flowered pink speckled on the back porch making it's way up the gutter.

Other side.

And the massive stalk compared to an index card. This is only a single plant. Twice, it's not even August yet!!!

Kai no Kasumi x Fujishibori = Purple-Raspberry Speckled looks good enough to eat !
becky I like your P. Bush cross too...The Flying Cloud and Kikyo cross's seeds are coming up. Don't know what colors the Kikyo 's are cause it was a mix, but I'm sure they will be beautiful !

Thanks MJ -
I really like the Kai no Kasumi x Fujishibori = Purple-Raspberry Speckled too.
Looking forward to seeing your new blooms.

Here is another Kikyo from this am of Dark Blue Single with Picotee Tips

Becky, I am sure I did not germinate P Bush seeds. I will look at my list and see what else in pink. Also, I noticed that you P. Bush cross has solid spade shaped leaves and mine is variegated. This is going to drive me crazy. I might have to germinate another Hanahubiki seeds just to see. I gave one to a neighbor but she said her cat attacked it and killed it.... LOL!

I hate it when I can't figure out what I germinated. And I've waited all summer for Hanahubuki to bloom too. Not that this JMG is disappointing at all. It is beautiful and I will enjoy just as much.

Here is the variegated leaf of 'Flying Spark', quite a large one on this plant with interesting shape.

Here is the leaf of 'Nami' JMG. Not as large as the one just shown but is also interestingly shaped.

Here's one for Dany, yellow green Ipomoea nil leaf, maple type shape.

Another quite large variegated yellow-green leaf of a different JMG.

The leaf on this JMG appears to have fingers; its flower is yet to appear but should be a reverse tube form.

Emma, Does this leaf look like it is from the turquoise JMG you sent to me? The ID tag is lost to the world.

Nicole, your bloom reminds me of the Roman Candy I sent out in trade.. only the margins are wider, it is a beauty whatever it is.
beautiful blooms and leaves, thanks for sharing.

Joseph,
Thanks for showing us your awesome JMG leaves.
My TURQUOISE & WHITE Dilute Turquoise Blizzard-Fuji just started blooming so I'll post the photos that I have. The thing is that you can't tell which leaves go to which vine, so I'll check it out tomorrow because I do not remember if they are variegated or not. Also, I'll look at some of my last years photos.
I started 4 plants and so far have only seen one that is True. I'll give you an up-date when I can check my records and tell you what the others produced. One is very unusual and awesome, but is not the exact same as this bloom

Here is the first bloom this year

This is the same photo uncropped where you see two different types of leaves

One more different photo

Here is the other TURQUOISE & WHITE Dilute Turquoise Blizzard-Fuji vine that is NOT
But still pretty and a very unusual blue color

This bloom is also somewhat different, but still pretty. So, I am hoping vine #4 is also True
Now, let me look at last years photos

TURQUOISE & WHITE Dilute Turquoise Blizzard-Fuji
from 2009 showing the leaves are Variegated. I will still need to check to see if they still are this year and will LYK tomorrow.

Nice blooms, I love the blues the most.

I like whites and reds second I guess,,

purples and maroons are good too..
All these blooms came from the mg swap.. alot of noid mixes in there that I planted...

this is a nice big fluffy one.. nice varigated leaves on it too

Emma,

These are beautiful! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7984116. I have a soft spot for Fujishibori, and the "Dark Form" really does it for me.
I like all the TURQUOISE & WHITE Dilute Turquoise Blizzard-Fuji.

Joseph,

You have some neat leaves going there. I think it is one of the reasons people find JMG so fascinating. Not only do you get all these absolutely gorgeous blooms, but one can actually get excited about the different leave types as well. On other types of plants you might get a variegated variety, but that is about it...

Elsa

Debra,

I like your "Nice Big Fluffy One".

E

Love all your blooms Emma, absolutely gorgeous Your
turquoise and white blooms are stunning.

Becky, your Pres Bush from 2008 is a real beauty.

Beautiful pink Debra and the fluffy purple is gorgeous too.

Emma, I guess I planted the turquoise white JMG out in front for all passersby to admire. I have a tagless variegated asagao out there.

Will know when the flowers appear, certainly.

Elsa, I so totally agree with you about the beauty of JMGs. If you plant the vine early in the season, leaves are all the vine has to offer. Some of the unvariegated leaves have attractive qualities, such as a thin dark edge or tactile trait of feeling fuzzy or felt-like.
