I'm growing a chocolate something right now. Waiting for blooms on it. But here is a a no id i nil. White with a spec of purple on it.

This been up on my arbor and we took it down yesterday for my daughter's school project. Look what we found inside.

Lovely blooms Jackie and Nicole!!! Love the nest, too! :-) :-) :-)

Jackie - Look what I got today. First bloom on another seed I started. Looks like I got the crossed Fuji no Sora that reminds me of Hamaginga: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/103768/

Beautiful Pink Mt. Fuji bloom! Am growing some of my old seeds out and this one is still an eye-catcher!

Diluted Fuji no Muraski. Always one of my favorites!

Antoinette's Hanafubuki x Blue Tie-dye. I see the Hanafubuki flecks and blizzard pattern with the block colors of Blue Tie-dye.

"Blushing Bride" blooms! ;-)

Fuji Shibori x Ten Ten! Look at how perfectly round it is! LOL!

I really love the colors in this one! Plum Shadows beauty!

You can't fool the genes! This is a Sidare vine trying to grow "up" instead of weeping! LOL!

A close-up of the bloom!

This Blue Speckles bloom just gets me every time! Such a unique cross. Another one of Antoinette's beauties that I got lucky enough to grow! She makes the best crosses, IMHO!

New name: Blue Stardust.

mjsponies - that is a Robin's nest & egg. The color is so pretty!

Thanks A

Heres a nice flower from Weird Saz making the purple blooms

Jackie, you are welcome.

We are finally getting some RAIN,,, yes, well, it is cloudy and thundering.. and hopefully it won't pass us by.

Lillimercithat is a pretty neat nest... we have our barnswallows, they just finished with two clutches this year.. our problem now is going to be those Cowbirds, here's a little bird nest history.

They take advantage of the nest, they stay warm in the winter, then when the barnswallows come back, lay eggs, these darn Cowbirds lay their eggs in one of the other bird's nests (not just the barnswallows nests, but those are the one I see and observe) and have those other birds take care of the eggs, only to come back and get the baby when the eggs hatch. Isn't that so opportunistic, almost like humans. Then, they do it again with other birds.. How interesting.. But this is the other part, once the other birds find out that the babies are not theirs, they dump them out and then if the cowbird's mother doesn't hear them or come and get them, they die. So, they take a big chance when they become the parasitic bird that they are.

Here comes the rain...

Jackie - Great looking blooms! I just love your weird Sazanami!!!

Here is a new bloom of your FNS cross from last year! Beautiful blooms on this vine!

Silver Shadows NOT ... I think this new crossed cultivar should be called Pink Delight! :-)

Another unnamed from a mixed Japanese Seed packet. I love the different tones of blue in the blooms! And the light green foliage isn't shabby either! Great contrast!

Nice blooms ladies love them all.

I agree, the blooms are really awesome!!

I got a new bloom though with damage light variegated leaves from 2008 seed I grew from Onalees packet of JMG.

Light form of Miko no Mai is still blooming nicely for me too.

So glad you're getting the cross blooms Becky, very pretty as are the
other two blooms. You've had spectacular blooms this yr.


Wonderful blooms Helena. Love your light no Mai.

A loved your story re the barn swallows and cow birds. We've had barn swallows
since we moved here in 02. They always nested on our porch under the eaves.
We have so many stray cats now that our swallows nest elsewhere. We miss
our up close view of the babies and watching their progress.

This Fuji no Monet is 4 inches across.

Fuji no monet..... great Jackie.. it looks great. isn't it something in person? It really does look like a watercolor.

Just this morning the darned cowbird was in the nest already scouting it out. They do what they have to do to survive and keep their breed going. I don't know who came up with the term birdbrain, but some of the crows are the smartest birds around. The barnswallow nests are right in front of the window where my computer sits, sometimes I take pictures of them from inside the house.. they are only 5 feet away, and they sit on the ledge of the window about 3 ft away. They look like they are wearing black capes.

A, They do look like they are wearing capes, pretty little birds.

This is the last bloom from this vine Saz #2. It's the blue that was
making the wide white swatches, now almost white with blue trim,
very pretty. This bloom also a 4 inch bloom.

nice flowers ladies love the colors in them.
this was waiting for me this morning.

robbie, that is a nice rich magenta color, I'd like to get some oil paints in that color, very nice.

Helena - This one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8040983 looks like mine in the photo post just above yours! Really pretty blue stripes, aren't they?

Jackie - Fuji no Monet is another of my favorites. The color is superb!

Robbie - Beautiful bloom! That color always reminds me of a royal robe. :-)

Thanks Becky.

Nice bloom Robbie
