Morning Glories 2011 #18

this is what I have undone..

and now we are here..

and here..

Love the yellow. I cut back my ochracea so I bet I don't get blooms this winter.

Jackie, I hope you get surprised

Debra, who knew paradise came as subterranean, too

I have this thing aout spending money and saving gifts and trades, is all. I don't use that space down there any other time except in winter. I keep forgetting to take shots of the mgs that are bloming down stairs, white kawani and plum surprise. Dang.good news, I plantesis is vining away down there.. yippee!

Great photos, everyone!

What a cold front we've had... actually feels like autumn now. Here's "Chickencoopdark" (another of Ronnie's generous I. purpurea sharing—thanks, again, Ronnie!^_^) at lunch-time. It's one of the few that made it thru the storms last night mostly intact.

Pretty blooms everyone! Expecting slight cold night here.

Wow Nick that one came out great!!

Beautiful blue Nick. Love the large throat area.

Helena, very pretty bloom. Nice color and blizzard effect.
Turning cold here tonight too.

No Momo open today.

Nick that is a gorgeous blue mg there. I love it.
Helena is that an akatsu>? It's a pretty one for sure.

never heard of a No MoMo, so this is a good thing.
cold here too.. brr!

Nick, this one is superb!
Is a purpurea - in summer it has the same flowers?
Or only the back end saison ?

I had the same type of flower in autumn.

Thanks Jackie and Debra. Love your pink No Mono Jackie. Debra, I don't know if it's akatsu. It could be, it's from one of Becky's seed mix.

Here's a large light blue with blizzard from Karen2005 surprise mix.

Beautiful blues, Nick & Helen - strong tints of sea and sky there

Also enjoyed the blue lurking in Helen's pink and the white clarifying Patootie's pink

Temps dropping here, too - occasional sun delurks to give phantom lights to a charcoal sky - does anyone want some Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' seeds? I'm cleaning these seeds today, and have just enough to share with anyone posting here. The leaves are like black grass hugging the ground - imagine with Gray Haze or Black Queen against a Fall gray sky?

karen

sounds loverly. look at my posts and see if there is anything you would like, Karen.

this post is moving at the speed of light!!!...hi Patootie! I love that first pink at the top of the page http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=8847708 ...and hi Ronnie, I have not said hi to ya in for ever. Moving is NO fun...at least i am geting my ha sorry "Roots Down" ...and hi to Bluspiral, its been forever and Dany! and all... lol
little shot of Blue sky shimmer...everone take care and have a great day!!!
peace, :D

Debra, thats Fuji no Momo, the palest pink All the white lvs mean its a miracle I got any blooms at all. Thanks Helena and Karen. What a pretty blue bloom Helena.

Thanks Darren, lovely Blue you have there.

A Jordin Rose sporting somewhat different coloration.

Hi Darren, good to see you, too - how can you be so chirpy and be moving roots at the same time? Hope you'll enjoy wherever you land :)

Debra, gotcha. It'll take me a while to go over back posts. I don't have morning glories to trade, just odds and ends from this year's garden. I'm not expecting anything back for the black mondo grass, but certainly appreciate offers like Debra's. Anyone, shall I throw in Salvia splendens 'van Houtii Faye Chapelle', too??? Amazing thing refused to stop blooming all summer/fall, no matter how many days of wretched muggy heat we had - 4' x 4' and hardly ever without Ms. Hummer visiting - some flowers had long tubes within tubes - may not come true from seed.

Thanks, folks!

Nice blues, purple & pinks (particularly fond of that 'no Momo'-- foliage looks spectacular!).

Dany: The white center of "Chickencoopdark" (it is a definitely an I. purpurea) seems to have gotten bigger & whiter as the temperatures finally got cooler (photo is from May when it first bloomed inside the house)...

Hi Darren!!

HI Ronnie, again, lol I want little LIKE buttons as on facebook, lol. So many GREAT blooms, only 4 here, i have a big jar of last years Hodgepodge (blues pinks purplples noid from my moms fence if anyone has need of a barrier wall, will happily share.

~peace~
Darren

Thanks Nick, great photo of your Blue Purpurea.
Had to be my potting mix that produced all the white lvs, a virus perhaps? Sure did wonderful
things to my leaves.

Fuji no Sora.

Great close-up Darren.

THANKS, Patootie I like the leaves on yours, !!....and the blooms got great striping...nice inside lavender wash.
D:

Thanks Darren.
The tag says Fuji Shibori. I don't think so but it did come out of shibori sds.
This is tiny, still in an 8 oz cup.

Ain't Morning Glories great?

(I. tricolor 'Heavenly Blue')

How nice to see a lovely Heavenly Blue Nick, great photo too.

I can dream this winter about my blue Lavender Beauty.

I love blues.. beautiful!

Thanks Debra. One blue that I enjoyed a lot was this dark beauty, Blue Marble Not, sds from Helena. Mine did'nt make any sds so I'll try again this next summer

Beautiful blooms Nick, Darren and Jackie! I got similar bloom to yours from Blue Marble Not too Jackie. You never know what they really going to bloom from year to year, but it's nice to get nice surprises from them.
The bloom on the left opened yesterday, the one on the right opened the day before.

Beautiful purply red Helena.

Debra's Xiongs was gorgeous on my fence this summer.

I don't have a clue what this one is. I missed naming a bunch of glories, so now I get to guess and
ponder :-(

Today my Fuji no Momo and the vine in the 8 oz cup marked as Fuji shibori were both open. No differences
that I can see so I think they're both no Momos.

cute!
I like them.

I have loads of pics from thebasement vines blooming, but no time to load them up..
seed pods are drying, things are happy so far..

Thanks Debra, looking forward to your blooms.

Dark indica on 2nd day of bloom.

I like your mg blooms Jackie, very pretty!

Thanks Helena. Have your blooms stopped? I'm only getting a few now.

This little Kikyo open today, about 1 inch across. Another one in an 8 oz cup
