Morning Glories 2011 #10

Jackie - Love the dense blue speckles on yours! I love your weird Saz. It sure looks to me like it is going to turn out some blooms like the awesome ones I had 2 years ago! Keep a close eye on that one and your camera on standby! I always love seeing Dracula! That one always gives me a smile! I like your dark blue one a lot! Reminds me of the one that Colin sent that he had labeled "black" NOID.

Debra - WOW! I love the wide white spokes on that first one you posted! It's got some really nice qualities! I hope you get seeds! :-) Neat leaves on your I. cairica. Reminds me a little of the leaves of the Alamo vine. Your sticto looks great! Mine is going nuts here! I prune it back and within 2 days, it's sending out a new vine to try to sneak past me! LOL! Mine is huge, too! I want to name it the Amazon Jungle Vine! LOL! Do they bloom in the fall/winter normally?

When I had no A/C, my sweet little Pandy vine under lights died. I mean really died! It turned completely brown. Happened in a matter of 2 days! I was shocked and so disappointed. I have a couple seeds left so will start another one. I don't know what happened or why.

But ... I was watering my patio table plants and low and behold I saw that the cup I used to plant a daylily start in, had two other sprouts. MG sprouts to be exact! And guess what ... both of Debra's pandy seeds germinated at the same time. I gave up on them when they didn't sprout after a month and just reused the cup for the daylily. I guess the pandy's were waiting for the right time to delight me! So I lost my young pandy and have 2 now to replace my loss. Is that timing or what???!! I planted them back on April 12th. Maybe they are on Indiana timing?

This is what Fuji Kawata blooms look like towards the end of it's life cycle. Still very attractive, but smaller.

Debra - I wish ALL the MG blooms would stay open all day long! LOL! Mine last about 3 hours in the morning and then wilt. (Unless of course they are in shade.)

Another lavender bloom today.

So many beautiful blooms! I'm really enticed by the blue speckled, and believe I have some growing that I recently started—some for late outdoor bloom, some for indoor growing & hybridizing in fall and winter.

Becky I am so happy to see some pandys especially cots, now I can see what they look like. Thanks You!

Thanks Debra. I know you will get beautiful Count Drac and Weird Saz blooms
Becky, thanks. I'm so glad that even though you lost the 1st pandy, that you got Debras to sprout and can try again.
I love your kawata, mine may be open in the morning

Helena, can you send a pic of mile a minute vine blooms? I havr some tiny purple blooms open each morning
and they may belong to mile a minute. I;m not getting up early enough to catch the blooms open. :-).

Thanks Antoinette, I guess a mg calender would be great to contine to enjoy the blooms.

I had to take my time to enjoy everyones blooms! So thanks too for the compliments A, Becky, Jackie, Debra and Nick.

Beautiful blooms everyone! Your bloom could be Fuji no Monet Debra, I had similar blooms last year!
So glad to see what you got from Blue Marble Not Jackie.
Love your lavender blooms Becky.

Jackie, I'll d-mail a picture of a mile a min. bloom.


Here's one of my blooms today. Tony's vine bloom.

Again same vine from Tony, this neat bloom was on top of vine! So far no seeds.

Becky's gorgeous DFNM bloom today. I sure have enjoyed these blooms, so thanks Becky!

A Sunday treat with Tsukiyono too!

Helena, yes I will be starting a new thread shortly. I know some of our members are on dial up. :-)
Helena, I love the diluted bloom from Beckys sds, its so pretty. Also like your color blocked speckled,
really unusual and a beauty
Beckys Fuji no Kawata bloom. The color is darker than what is showing. I really like it, thanks Becky.

beautiful blooms helena and jackie.. such a nice sight on a hot hot day to see..

I don't have a clue as to what this is. The vine is tangled and could be
the no name thats planted in the same tub. I'm pretty sure it's from a dropped sd I found growing
near where 4 or 5 mg's were growing last season. Wish I had planted it up by itself

Edited to say this is in the same tub as the no Mai cross.. The no Mai cross is not this dark.

Here's the no Mai cross

Thanks Jackie and Debra.

Jackie, Pretty blooms too. I really like the Fuji Kawata & your no Mai cross and that purple has a really nice color! Love surprises in the blooms.

This vine stopped blooming until this morning. The seed was from Karen bluespiral. I may have given someone else the credit until I checked the label.I also put the wrong date, I prefer not having a date on pictures.

Thanks Debra. A wonder I'm getting blooms in this heat, just horrible.

I know this thread is being continued on the new thread, but I just wanted to post some comments:

Debra - I am so happy that not just one but both of your pandy seeds sprouted! They will be potted up into a larger container within the next few days. I haven't decided if I will plant them together in the same pot or not. But either way, they will remain outdoors! :-) Thank you for sharing them with me!

Nick - Where did you acquire your blue speckled blooming seeds from?

Antoinette - Good idea about a MG Calendar! :-)

Helena - The blooms you are getting from Tony's blooms are beautiful! Nice vine for sure! That Diluted FNM is so pretty! Glad that you are enjoying the great cross that has been coming true for just about everyone! :-) Love it when that happens! You know that Tsukiyono is one of my faves this year! :-) :-) I LOVE that speckled, blocked, and star bloom in this photo: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8727293 AMAZING!!! And the Azuremores blues are really so flirty! I bet the bees are all over them! LOL! Karenblue's bloom is very pretty, too!

Jackie - Neat Kawata bloom! I hope you get some blizzard patterns in yours, too! I really like it a lot!
Beautiful purple color on this one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8727902
That no Mai cross is so delicate looking! :-)

Now to the new thread for more comments ...

Becky, I got Kikyo Confetti Mix and a bonus pack with just 'Confetti Mix' from Lake Mary Gardens. Hoping there'll be some blue speckles in there somewhere.

Nick - Whatever you get from Karen2005 (LMG) will be awesome, that I am sure of! Can't wait to see the blooms! :-)

Oh good! I will post when the time arrives. :-)

:-)

Debra, thank you so much, the babies look great! I can hardly wait to pot them up here.

Becky, those Tsuykiyono and Helena's blue speckles are very impressive. I can't imagine anything better than those crosses.

Jackie, Good Ole Dracula Kikyo is showing his great coloring. I need to grow that again, the kikyo's need a lot of fertilizer/bloom booster for them to really put on a show and have big flushes, otherwise they stay small and have very few blooms, that is what has happened to me with the kikyos. Has anyone else noticed that?
