Dany's MGs 2012 # 2

Mittsy, how nice to see a Heavenly Blue, very pretty

Question for Karen!
1: a plant produces 98% of this type of flower.
2: 2% of flowers are unique of this kind of bloom.
When you cross the flower n° 2 , you use the genetics of this flower or the genetics of the plant ?
And in what proportion?

Dany, the only thing I can claim is a respect for the possibilities of morning glories - not knowledge.

My guess would be to use the genetics of the flower -

So all I can say at this point is to "self" and tag No. 2. And then, hopefully, if a pod ripens, to cross those seeds with each other to maximize the re-appearance of this pattern. I would try to grow out the vines of the F2 generation to their maximum length, which would maximize the number of seeds you could harvest. The more seeds from F2, the greater the possibility this pattern might occur in F3.

I can only talk in terms of what seems most likely from my limited knowledge base - not in exact percentages.

Like you, I would welcome any other ideas from others who are either more knowledgeable than I - or more serendipitous.

(To newbies reading this, selfing means pollinating the flower of interest with itself; that is, swish the pollen (that is on the anthers) of No. 2 onto the its stigma (see diagram here: http://www.cs.umb.edu/~whaber/Monte/Plant/Conv/conv-part.html ) There are a couple of entries for Tagging under POLLINATION in in this forum's index in the sticky)

That is a gorgeous flower - hope it comes back for you :)

We had 2 to 3 fresh night .... today morning 46.4 F.Result , flowers are small, no pollen and the wrong color! .... luckily I have pictures in reserve!
Here is a soft gray - pearly gray .

Perhaps to cross with n° 5 !

This one is not DFNM .

4 o'clock ... yes ! ... but double ! I find seeds in Japan .
I still looking for variegated 4 o'clock !

Dany,

Very interesting 4 o'clocks. Are they producing seed? I have a few seeds og M. longiflora if you are interested. (http://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/1642/mirabilis-longiflora-sweet-four-oclock/)

Elsa .... is possible!

Q 0240 is really an excellent cultivar! I hope I will seed!

One bloom ... 3 colors ...white , light blue and mid blue .

A very bright!

Dany, love your blue flowers. Q240 really is a beauty. Holding thumbs on your behalf for some seed...

Your mg's are really special Dany, a joy to see.

Dany, those are AMAZING!!! WOW!

Beautiful Dany, I love the center bloom.

Thank you everyone!

The ancient Japanese had done everything :
It reads like a sales catalog online .... bottom left.

A very double mutation!

Dany, is the double mutation forming any seed? Looks like a petunia...

Beautiful small bloom ... but to produce seeds !
Impossible because there is neither stamens nor pistil. "nobody is expected to do the impossible" .

This cultivar is probably an ancestor of Fuji no Monet .... it has no stamens and Youjiro leaves .... ideal for breeding!

With each flower I made a cross with one of the 500 cultivars present in the garden this year ..... imagine the number of F1 seeds that I will have!
Next year I can only cultivate crosses from this plant!

One of them is a Purpurea flower !

Beautiful colors !

WOW! Awesome blooms Dany.

I agree Helena

Danny, you are amazing!

Beautiful to say the least.

Thanks , everyone !

One of the two has a very good hairdresser! lol !
