Nice set up to keep growing during winter Debra.
LiliMercy, love all your beautiful blooms. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I thought I didn't have any blooms today but I'm glad I was wrong.
A bloom from DFNM x K
This bloom from George Strait was closing so I had to open it to take a picture.
More mg seedlings to transplant into bigger pots.
Going to have a few more oranges this year.
I LOVE your orange tree! GS looks like he was a killer bloom , glad u have a lot of blooms going, Helena. Nicole, so nice to se you again!
our bug killer, Elmer
Lovely blooms Nicole.
Helena, so glad to see your DFNM still blooming and George Strait.
Your orange tree looks wonderful.
We'll enjoy your winter blooms with you. Still haven't got to start any here but hoping I can.
Still getting new school clothes and supplies for my g kids.
Love your basement jungle Debra. I like Elmer too.
I think this is one from Helena.
And this is a Sazanami

The one on the top is Roman Candy. The one on the bottom looks just like the top version except there is no white on the tip/edge of the flowers.

no id - sometime I label them and then the labels fade. Oh well. I'll just enjoy the flowers!
Sazanami and Mauve Splash.

no id, but very pretty. I am not sure it produced any seeds.
Nicole, I love all your blooms. They look awesome!
Debra, I like your bug eater. Every once in awhile I get to rescue one from being run over by cars.
Wonderful blooms Nicole.
Lovely blooms nicole. I grew all those last year and the year before, now I am growing seeds from everyone here .. I loved the orihime and the roman candy when I had them. Just blew me away when they first showed their loverly faces. The Orihime is my favorite..Roman Candy was my absolute favorite year before last. Beautiful!
This year I grew a lot less mg's than in previous years. I liked it better when I over did it. My vines ended much earlier this year too.
Another bloom on my pink-fuchsia youjiro and not so pretty Black King.
Wow, love all those blooms, and the Hamelia patens is also called a firebush, and they get huge down here. I have one small one in a pot I just bought, so I will have to find a place and put it in the ground!
I too have no seeds from my white Morning glory tree. I think when the time comes, I will chop it down, like I do with the angel trumpets, and make new ones. As tall as it is, I think I can get quite a few cuttings from it!
Helena, love your pretty pink youjiro.
I had some lovely purps today. 2 light colored blooms in the rain.
A dark one too
Hige
2 Youjiros. Look at the diff in the spokes of these two
Jackie, I love your light purpureas, beautiful blooms. Your hige is nice too and love when the youjiros do their neat thing.
Blue Tie Dye, my 2nd vine
LYK
lovely, Jackie, u know I love blue!
Thanks Helena and Debra, got sidetracked doing a birthday celebration for one of my grand daughters.
Shes turning 9 Monday, 1st day of school so we celebrated today.
Gorgeous blooms Debra.
Beautiful blooms Jackie and Debra. I like your pinks a lot Debra! I decided to soak some more seeds yesterday including some of your purpureas Debra. (sp)
Only had GS and fuchsia youjiro bloom today but only posting my new agastache I got from Lowe's. I saw hummer activity this morning chasing each other from the salvias, a mature male and a female.

Debra, that soft pink above is my favorite, so pretty.
Helena, love your new Agastache. I enjoyed the one I purchased from Lowes in the spring. I need
to go see if my store has some new ones in. I love the fragrance.
Fuji no Beni
A new Lyk vine with a lavender bloom, the other LYK vine is making blue blooms.
Purp

I was too late getting outside with my camera this am. The sun had already curled the edges of this
Plum Purple Velvet
This is a lovely dark purp. The pic's blurry because its so close to the ground, I can't focus
This bloom reads Saz but it looks more like Silky Blue in a way.
Thanks Jackie, I also have several seedling growing of agastache shades of orange I need to transplant. We are getting more rain here again.
Gorgeous blooms Jackie too. I remember having a lavender LYK too a couple of years ago, I think I grew a blue on last year or the year before.It's hard to pick which ones to grow but very nice when you get something better than the year before. Yours turned out to be very nice colors on your blooms.
Thanks Helena. I like the LYK blooms, both colors. I want to grow the Yaguruma Blizzard if I can find my sds.
It was one of the best blooming mg's I ever grew. Its one of the parents of LYK I believe.
Heres a pic
Those were pretty Yaguruma blooms Jackie.
I had 2 nice GS blooms today and later found a purpurea volunteer among the weeds.
Love the George Strait blooms Helena. Hope mine blooms soon. Beautiful darkest Purpurea, I love it.
!st bloom could be Jap Sunrise Mixed. Bugs worked it over
Another Jap Mixed looks like Choc Silk
Tree MG
Hige
no Sora
Purpurea
Blue Lav Beauty
Fuji no Beni
Love all those blooms, just about all of mine are done blooming! Just too much heat this year!
ooh, the Fuji no Beni is beautiful!
Thanks Linda and Nicole.
My Fuji no Beni bloom was not as nice today as yesterdays bloom. The color is wonderful on this one. I hope I gather 2 or 3 sds pods, I'm almost out of sds for it.
All your blooms are beautiful, Jackie. oo bad I am not as organized as usual..
Look At this Miko No Mai
the last pick is for Helena.. this will be a great tuber for you..
For Helena
WOW, Debra, what is the white ones. They look huge!
I must have been tirred didn't mean to post the same thing twice, the last flower in the top one is a white 4 o clcok I meant to be on the bottom LOL
Trying to show my two favorites, glorys and clocks..
oh.. I feel for the folks in the Midwest.. with the awful water issues.. I might be slowing my flowering down by too much water .. the drip syatem is up and running this year.. it has to be run anew every year as the things change so.. down on the street.. the planter there has them climbing back up the drip line I've run the 4 floors down from the roof.. they are through the first and second floors.. with no sign of slowing down... you can see the wet sidewalk from the 5 am watering.. there's a new frozen yogurt w/ toppings next door... they are open to midnight..and thei light has confused the moon flowers that are there also.. or maybe they are just slow to kick into gear also..
well it won't digest and post 5 images.. might be too big... here's a few this time
