Trying again

LoL...patootie, Well, that's better than posting a picture in one forum thinking you are in another forum....then wondering where the heck it went later........( me? did I do that? nawwwwwwwwww, ok, yes I did.)
I didn't get to take any pictures today, but my seedlings are growing quickly !

LOL Mj, I haven't done that yet but it's just a matter of time.
I wish our glories would bloom faster than 6 to 10 weeks.
Being in Fl, your's shouldn't take that long.
If I didn't stay so stressed, I would just start 10 or so every 2 weeks.
Having different varieties of mg blooms every couple weeks would be great.

That is what I do too, jackie..
Emma your blooms are awsome. Jackie I am so excited, I have some buds on some of the seeds you sent me.
Beckys seeds too.
Here is a surprise, first bloom, can't wait to see the others. It is so hot in the Am here that my lens keep fogging.
The leaves are chartuse.

Robbie I love that split petal it is so cool.
No seed pods yet on this HUGE white. The cosmos are from Remy O

One viable seed pod on this huge blue.

I had forgotten about these sunsmile blues on the shady south side of the front part of te house. I really like them.They are climbing along a short garden fence there.

This is a beautiful dark blue, the camera does not do it justice.. it is also in the shade.

Xiongs Chinese in the tall coconut cotainer on the north side of the patio

I know I do not like pinks as well as blues, but I do love this pink alot.

This is a good marriage here..Can't seem to catch the little mg blooms tho.. it waits until I am gone to work to bloom.

Gorgeous blooms Debra. Hope you get lovely blooms from my sds
Eager to see them.
Love your rose/pink Xiong's, mine just bloomed dark purple.

Thank you Jackie and Debra -
Jackie, don't you just love the Chartreuse Leaves. They stand out so well.

MJ -
Great photo

Emma, some lvs are absolutely gorgeous, but I don't tend to see them. lol
For me, it's all about the flowers.

Patootie, I'm sitting here, trying to imagine a garden with no leaves - just the flowers suspended in space like the Cheshire cat's smile, minus the cat - lol

(was it Alice in Wonderland? Through the Looking Glass?)

Speaking of the things we do to each others' imaginations around here - loved everyone's flowers - they were rather revolutionary - thank you, all

karen

Karen, lol I would like my lvs a lot better if they weren't covered in bugs.

Well... I believe I'm going to be sued for mismanagment of my garden this year.. as a result of my managing my morning glories.. and NO.. Jackie.. not for using them as a breeding ground for sptder mites.. housing in my vines/leaves enough mites to give a few to each and everyone in the entire country..... although it's surely grounds to do so... and this is after spraying with every heavy hitting posion I had.. and could get.. we'll see how this new miticide does.. I just got some Shuttle.. hearalded as the latest and greatest.. they just had their first application of it a few days ago.... we'll give it a couple of applications before trying to determine it's success..
OK so why the charges.. I had plenty of great seed/gifts and ones I had bought in years past.. but this year... I didn't start ones i wanted to bring forth I'd tried to colect from my vines.. I figured I'd set loose new volunteers from the planters I was particularly interested in.. so the first sprouts out werre trained to become the 2010 crop... just about every early riser was the same white with the light purple bands.. of my first JMG.. so I had everywhere as they started to flower.. almost exclucively this flower.. not the earth shattering mix in crossing I'd imagined.. although one was the feathered purple from Emma a few years ago.... and some have been a near red.. and low a few dark purples... I had one planter.. away from everyone.. with the picotee blue.. which I saved some seeds from and didn't grow them out... but took the first sprouts here... and grew out exclucively the white with the banding.. how they got there without any of the ones there before.. and them being the first of any to sprout out.. got them developed in to the crop of 2010.. these were particularly infested.. and overgrowing everything nicely... but wre recently pulled up and replaced with a white Mandivilla.. Guuitky as charged...
but here's a fe dispite collecting all the good ones I could last year.. then somehow expecting them to be there in the dirt to sprot out this year..

we've a JMG sail we're working on.. about 30 wide on the base.. and going up to 20' in height.. it's filling in nicely... soon to reach the top... I wish the flowers were of the more exotic ones i had growinh there last year.. but again the first ones up got the string position.. well not really string.. but 100 lb test monofiliment..

well another mass of them.. still alot of fun...and quite pretty..
and there's the street planting of them.. my usual planter full.. a wall and then canopy over the doorway entrance.. and a fight up a verticle waterline to the roof.. to see how high they will grow this year.. usually about 35' hight.. pictures of this when there's some flowers in that shadier spot

Gordon,
That "Sail' is just tooooooooooo cool !

hey gord, where have u been? I love your sail!

Lol Gordon re the bugs. A bug factory here for sure. Let us know
how your new product works.
Love the sail but the totem is gorgeous with so many blooms open at the
same time.

Wow this is so cool! thanks for the leader on the fish line! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=7990189

I have a neighbor handy with a cross bow. Once, when a tree from his property fell over a neighbor's garden, he tried to move it, using the cross bow...but neighbor was more horrified at the cross bow than the tree over his garden...long story, but gloriously silly.

Anyhoo, wonder if I could get cross bow neighbor to shoot that monofilament high up into the silver maple looming over our garden, and then train some purpureas up? Kidding - not safe to even contemplate - but what wonderful thing to do with a ready-made altitude.

Loved your sails, Gordon.

Another Grand show, Gordon,

Do you still have them growing at the entry to your building?

Emma
