Awesome Dany. I'd like to know too about which vines your purpurea shibori was crossed with? Very striking!

It's just a selection of flower ... year after year !

When the volonteer seedling make better than me ! ... incredible!

The Black Rose .... morning glory mutant !

Three other different cultivars red dotted.

Large dark purple-red ... one from Becky !

Gorgeous, every one of your great selection Dany! (my spelling isn't so good at times.)

Love the 1st red dotted and the Black rose mutant Dany

The first red dotted is not a large flower .... perhaps Kanoko .
But this one has large flowers ! .... they call it : red mist in Japan .

Beautiful, the name fits it well.

Nice dark purple red, almost missed it and love Red Mist

Thanks !
I've light Duskie & chocolate mix .... too !

Chocolate mix.This is most clear in the series .... large flowers!

First flower :
Sazanami ..... a must because make good crosses !
DFNM from Becky .... first time here !
Q 1078
Q 1221 .... I think it's not Grey Wolf !
Q 0240 ... I hope to have a flower wide open! .... one day !

Love all your photo's! Are they growing in pots, or on a fence somewhere?

180 in pots and 540 in the garden .

Is that all? LOL!

That is awesome Dany! I bet it's just amazing to have them all blooming.

Beautiful blooms Dany.

Few things can prevent the opening of flowers!

My MG garden !
First pic :120 small containers ... Mostly one cultivar per container. ( 120 )
In the garden: 16 lines each with 25 cultivars. Drip irrigation. ( 400 )
An other place 2 lines with 70 cultivars - Drip irrigation. ( 140 )
And there in larger containers .... 1cultivar of Ipomoea purpurea and 1 of Nil . At harvest the seeds of Nil and Purpurea are very different so no problems!
But it's not a very good idea because purpurea needs a lot of water (large leaves) .... solution: cut a few leaves! (62 )

The same flower at different times.
Early in the morning in purple color and one hour later the flower is blue!
Chemical transformation of heat!

There are two cultivars of Ipomoea indica .
The blue (wild) just about to bloom!
And variety of Edith Piaf, who nearly died ... here with an ipomoea Nil in a large container ! only some leaves .... Sniff .
Here 'Edith Piaf' flower of last years.
I've never harvested seeds of Ipomoea indica!

Youjiro hybrids have beautiful leaves but the flowers are often sterile - finally! no stamens! ... how many generations for fertility to return!

Awesome set up Dany and your flowers are incredible!

Wow, that is a lot of plants, and work! Nice job!

Can't add anything to Helenas and Lindas remarks. I wholeheartedly agree.

This flower is smaller than Ipomoea purpurea ... no problem if they are thousands every morning .... this is not the case! Sniff ... Sniff!

This cultivar is superb! makes different type of flower.
I love flowers the last 2 pictures .... shadow game ... subtle!

Nobody knows but the MG are very shy! ...here a blush of shyness!

Wow Dany! Your mg's are really special beauties.

I'd say your shy one is anything buy shy, a real show off, I love it.

Dany, you and Helena and I all posted a similiar bloom this morning, your 1st bloom. Mine even
has the blue/purple blob of color right at the edge same as yours.

I like your Blue Shadow blooms too but the pink one has my heart.

Beautiful blooms Dany! What are your temps now, is it pretty warm there?

Linda, day : 100.4 ° F and night : 69.8 ° F - The MG love hot night!

Here one purpurea very very weird! can be a natural hybrid ?

This type of flower in this color is rare - medium sized flower opening very well.

Oh, it get is getting pretty hot for you? Is that normal temps for your summers?
Love those colors!

Lovely purpurea with Ip nil type leaves.

Love the color of the bloom in the 2nd set of pics.

Beautiful blooms and neat leaves too Dany. Really enjoying the show.

Kikiyosaki a true blue - white throated (many have red throats!).
But it is a variety with strong branch that is not really a climber. I have two foliage color - dark green and varigated.

Large pink and picotee.

Love those soft colors!
