Lavender Beauty

Debra - Those beautiful blooms were well worth the wait! I love the one from Jackie and the kikyo that reminds me of Karen2005's blooms! Your waterlilies look pretty good in that one photo. Are you still fertilizing them? They may need more fertilizer pellets if they aren't getting very big. Mine are quite large and blooming like crazy. Mine are also in full sun all day long.

Jackie - Lavender Beauty is a beauty! Thanks for starting a new thread. :-)

All three of these pictures are from 1 plant.

Second one.

Third one.

Count Drac opened this morning. Not a very good pic I'm afraid. He's still in an 8 oz cup so the bloom is tiny.
I;ve got another in a larger pot so hope those blooms turn out better.

Linda - Oooh! Those are so lovely! :-) :-)

Jackie - Cute little Dracula bloom! The name Antoinette gave that cultivar always stands out in my mind!

A few blooms from today. Big Blue and Mauve Splash ...

Sidare showing a striped bloom and the more usual solid color bloom ...

Aomoraski Youjiro Blizzard

Sazanami. This was a hard one to photograph because the bloom was on the outside of the top of the arbor. Took a few tries to get the entire bloom. Got part of my face in the photo, too! LOL!

Blue Speckles.

Gorgeous blooms Becky. Love the Aomoraski, a striking bloom. Your Saz is
almost the same color as your blue eyes. Very pretty eyes.

Jackie - Thank you! My eyes are hazel, but often reflect the color from my surroundings. In the photo, the blue probably came from the sky! LOL! Or perhaps the very bloom I was photographing! ;-) I am so partial to the speckled blooms. I really love the Blue Speckles. Especially the ones on this new vine. Larger blooms than the previous generation. :-)

beautiful! I had a lonely little hige yesterday am, this heat is killing us bloom wise

Beautiful blooms Jackie, Linda, Becky and Debra!!!

I love morning glories!!

Here's my dark Tsukiyono, a large bloom!

Here's Antoinettes Rose Silk x Fuji Shibori cross.

Pink Star x choco mix cross blooms keep changing.

Jackies Fake Fuji no Monet!

Pretty dark bloom from Lav-plum.

My blue tie dye starts out with this color lately!

Debra - The Purple Flaked I. purpurea is my favorite I. purpurea whether it be in full petal form or in hige/split form. I love your PF hige bloom! So sorry to hear about the heat wave affecting you! I hope you get some much needed rain in the immediate future!

Helena - Good to see you back! We missed all your gorgeous blooms! Looks like your dh took excellent care of your vines while you were gone! :-)

I love the Tsukiyono, Antoinettes Rose Silk x Fuji Shibori cross, and the Pink Star x choco mix cross! WOW!!!! And the others aren't too shabby either! You rock this season, Helena! I should've grown more MGs outdoors this year. Next year for sure! Rust fungus, bugs, and what not ... so worth it for even a few blooms and seeds! :-)

Cute little Hige Debra

Helena, we are so glad you're back. Hope you had a great visit.
Love your beautiful blooms. The Fuji no Monet not is lovely in its own right. It's
actually Purple Fuji .
I love the colors on your Blue Tie Dye, Gorgeous Pink Star x Choco mix
The Tsujiyono is really special and A's Rose Silk x Fuji Shibori is very pretty.
My sd of that cross didn't take but still a nice bloom.

My blooms changing still on Akatsuki no Mai. It produced 2 diff blooms today. I love it that I finally
got my beautiful bloom of 2 yrs ago. I think my orig sd was from A.

A pic showing both blooms on the same vine.

The lighter bloom a little closer. I like this bloom too but the darker bloom is prettiest to me.
Guess I need to mark my sd pods

Jackie - Pretty solid pink bloom. I love the variation of blooms you are getting on your Akatsuki no Mai! Love vines that produce unique flowers with each bloom! Really lovely!

Jackie, stunning blooms. I am glad you have them. ;)

Thanks Becky and Debra. LOL Debra, yes me too. Still waiting on tons of others. Hope yours
start blooming soon. I think many of us are having to wait due to the 20 degree drop we had in temps back in May. We went from highs in the 90's to the 70's and it lasted for over 2 weeks. I think it shocked my
Morning glories.

Thanks Jackie and Becky, yes it's nice to be back but I had a good time too!

Pretty blooms Jackie, your Akatsuki no Mai is gorgeous! So glad to see your blooms, worth the wait.

It's been raining all morning but I got a few pics, the color on this one is lighter.

I didn't check for labels, a very light pink.

Pink on Pink!

From the choco mix, the color might be off.

Also off color from the choco mix!

Becky, thanks for the link which brought me here!
I'm stunned, so many amazing MGs! Great pics everyone!
Mine are simple, but I have a Ipomoea nil too, will post a picture later.

Another one.

Thanks Helena. Love all your pinks. The Choco Mix has produced some great blooms for you.
The pink star bloom is one of my favorites..

adinamiti, pretty blooms

adinamiti, pretty blooms, I agree, and welcome! Helena as always your blooms blow me away..
things are just now kinda waking up around here..

I like your bloom Debra

Thanks Jackie and Debra. Your bloom is very pretty too Debra!
(edit)

I like you pretty blooms Adina, that bright pink color is nice!
