True Fuji no Monet

Beautiful! My 'Monets' are about a week away from blooming – can't wait! ^_^

Nick, This one is really special. I forgot to mention this is my last yrs blooms.
I have one up from sd, will be a few weeks before it blooms. Last yr my sds produced the True Monet and a Fuji no Monet not.
It was very pretty too. Here's a pic of that one

Jackie - Your true True Fuji no Monet is stunning! Really!!!! And the Fuji no Monet Not is too! I remember Beth grew some seeds she purchases of FNM and they were solid purple. She questioned about that and sent many seeds from the F1 to grow out to see if they would produce the genes. None unfortunately did however. :-(

Here's Beth's (ByndeweedBeth) grow-out thread for Fuji no Monet - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/753172/ - the process of discovery was fascinating

Thanks for the info and link! I hope I got what I paid for!

Karen (bluespiral), this came from one of your packets :-)

Thanx Becky, I love the Monet and the Monet not too. It was also a beautiful color
My sds were purchased from Karen, Gardner 2005 and I'm so happy with the sds I got from her
Thanx for the link Karen, hope to get to read it all today some time.
What a gorgeous blue Nick.

Thank you, Nick - I'm always curious to see what the offspring of the seeds I grow do. My guess is that yours came from a seedling I grew with a thin, spidery dark blue star on a light blue background - interesting to see that the star faded to solid in your offspring. The parent seeds came from Gardener2005, labeled I. youjiro "Blue Star" (descriptive name in double quotes).

If not, then it would have had a speckled parent, TenTen or Fuji no Shibori.

Patootie, those Monets & MonetNOTs are always intriguing - lovely.

I got this one as Kanako, but it doesn't look like it is. It had an incandescent look to it that my camera did not capture, also it had some stirations.

Thanks Karen
Nice bloom A

Nice blooms everyone!

Another vine of Diluted Fuji no Murasaki bloomed today. The blooms are small but I think it's b/c it got cold here.

Like this bloom a lot.

This one too!

Helena, all of your flowers look great! I also like the one you mentioned you liked above.

edited to include: P.S here, just wanted to mention I got a reverse tube on that Kanako NOT yesterday.. I'll upload sometime tonight if I get a chance and post it here.

Great blooms Helena. Love your diluted

Thanks Antoinette, that's one of your special crosses Hanna hubuki x Choco Rose.

Thanks Jackie too. I have 2 of your vines growing and getting ready to bloom soon!

Patootie...Thanks for starting this thread again. sooner or later there will be a fugi no monet that DOES come true from seed, because of the threads following the grow outs.
One of these years, even I will have some. I never bought any of the original offering because I just had my doubts. When it does come true, it will be a jewel, and NOT because of the efforts of the original seller. Put me on the list and keep up the good work here. You are a jewel. You always remember the birthdays. Bless You. Frank

Nick - Lovely bloom!

Antoinette - Interesting Kanako bloom you got. I wonder if striations will become more prominent? Surprising that you got a reverse tube on another bloom! I am curious to see what future blooms will produce. :-)

Helena - What can I say? Amazing!!! I love that 2nd one, too! I had a feeling it was one of Antoinette's crosses before I read later posts of you confirming it. Antoinette creates some really interesting and beautiful blooming crosses. She crosses blooms that I wouldn't even think of crossing with each other with some very nice results! :-) I love getting her crosses!!!

Not many MGs blooming outdoors, as most of my new vines are being grown indoors right now. I did sow 24 seeds yesterday. About half were MGs, but the rest were veggies and hummer plants!

It seems that every single bloom on my Alamo vine is making seeds. I think those flowers are high in nectar. Probably moths or bees pollinating them. Here are the seed pods forming. They look like fruit ripening! LOL!

Here is a photo for size comparison of my Sidare blooms! Quite large flowers. :-) ♥

And here is a photo showing it's weeping habit! LOVE this vine!!! ♥♥

Last photo shows the Fuji Kawata vines blooming! One vine has reached the top of the Cape Honeysuckle tree which is about 10 ft. tall. I don't know where it will climb from there? LOL!

Thank you Frank, I try :-) I will put you on the list for Fuji no Monet.
Just no guarantees at this point.

Becky, lovely Sidare. The Fuji Kawata is a beauty too.

Beautiful blooms Becky!!

From last years seed from my garden, Fuji no Monet. Camera color not quite right.

Another bloom on DFNM x Keiryu

Pink Porcelain.

Ip purpurea.

Wonderful blooms Helena.

Vibrant Sidare, Becky!
Helena, I really like the pattern & colors on DFNM x Keiryu, and that Pink Porcelain is quite intriguing!

Scarlett O'Hara which supposedly came from a solid red parent (i.e. no white throat)

Another one of bluespiral's from a parent with a dark blue, thin spidery star on a light blue background — note the light blue flecks on this royal purple bloom

Thank you Jackie, Helena, and Nick!

Helena - I love your DFNM x Keiryu!! Beautiful!

Nick - Your Scarlett O'Hara looks like it might be a I. purpurea, instead of an I. nil. What do the leaves look like?

The purple bloom with the pink star is pretty! :-)

Becky, the foliage is heart-shaped like I. purpurea. So, I. nils never produce cordate leaves? I have what are supposed to be 'Fuji no Ao' & 'Fuji no Sora' producing, albeit much smaller, elongated heart-shaped leaves. Ack!

Nick - Some I. nils do indeed produce heart-shaped leaves. But not many of them. The SOH apparently does according to PlantFiles, but it sure resembles an I. purpurea in some of those photos.

This is a photo of the Scarlett O'Hara I grew indoors.

I've grown Fuji no Sora and it did not have heart-shaped leaves. I can't find a photo of mine at the moment. Maybe someone else here has a photo of their FNS vine?

I got an interesting bloom on Fuji Kawata today.

My Yellow Chinese Evening Glory has made a very nice recovery from being killed to the soil level this past Winter! These wild MGs are always tough vines!

Becky, love the Kawata more all the time. Nice Scarlett O'Hara too.
Heres a no Sora

Nick, love your bloom that came out of sds from Blue, very pretty bloom.

First bloom of (Early call pink x Akatsuki no Umi) x Tie-dye pink.
