Lovely blooms this morning Helena.
I need to pot up a few more that have out grown their foam starter cups.
I would like to start a few of the large tubs for planting several mg's in each pot, makes my work a lot easier. All blooms are from last yr
Purps
Aogakiyama's in lg tub, one of my favorites
from Dany's mix
Mauve Splash last summer
Azurermore was a beauty last yr, thanks Helena

Thanks for the info. I have never seen that one.
Pretty blooms Jackie, your bottle tree will have neat blooms.
I have nice repeat blooms today, a few came out really dark colors.
Gorgeous blooms today Helena. Pretty dark colors.
I'm in love with the Blue on Blue.
I agree, those are beautiful!
Thanks Jackie and Linda. The Blue on blue from Azuremore is a surprise b/c it's not what his picture shows but I'm happy with it too. It does look similar to one I had last year.
From todays blooms.
Those are so pretty, I like the 2nd, and 3rd pictures!
Beautiful blooms Helena,. Love the pretty block of color on bloom # 4
Thanks Linda and Jackie.
I don't know why my light Duskie x Fuji opens with damaged blooms. All repeat's.
Any blooms soon Linda? I potted up some more mg seedlings yesterday. Will have to watch them more carefully this time.
Not yet. I am going to plant more and see if they will sprout.
love all the blooms, Helena. Really, a stunning show.
I agree Debra. Beautiful Rose Silk and Pink Porcelain Blizzard Helena,. Love the beautiful
wide border on Rose Silk.
This small Mandevilla was on sale for 4.99.
Thanks Debra and Jackie. So glad to have them blooming.
Pretty Mandevilla Jackie, love the red color. Good price for it too.
Love that red mandevilla! And look at all the beautiful blue blooms! Very nice!
Drop dead gorgeous blooms this morning Helena.
Is # 4 your DFNM? My favorite is the last bloom, is it a
Blue Tie Dye ? Wonderful bloom, one of my very favorites.
Thanks Linda K.
Thanks Linda and Jackie. Yes that was DFNM Jackie and you guessed it right too for Blue tie dye. I think this might be a better pic a little bit later on.
wow! Love that red, so rich looking, Jackie. Great find.
I also love number 4, Helena, and what is the first one again?

Another beautiful bloom on your Blue Tie Dye Helena, great pic too.
Debra, Wish I could find all my favorite vines in this small size. it will be huge in no time and
for next to nothing. :-)
That is so pretty, are those leaves variegated?
Thanks ladies.
Debra, the first bloom is Blue rayed from Azuremore.
Yes Linda, those are variegated leaves. A lot of my vines have variegated leaves but not all.
Finally getting much needed rain today.
Love all your pretty blooms this morning Helena. Bloom # 4 is just incredible, perfect in every way, great pic.
I love coming here to see your blooms, they are so pretty!
Thanks Jackie and Linda. I thought Black King bloom (#4 above) was perfect too.
Only one new bloom today and not a good bloom pic, mauve stripes. It's been raining since yesterday and todays blooms are all drenched.
Still good to see your pretty blooms Helena even if they did get soaked. I forgot to tell you
we're dealing with rain day after day too. They had pretty much forecast rain every day and so far they've got it right. I've carried tons of plants back to
the greenhouse to keep them from getting waterlogged. Wish I could have
a canopy of some kind.
well rain logged or not, Helena your blooms always brighten my day. Jackie I hope we get some rain like that, I just came in from watering. headed for the RU tomorrow, Joanna my youngest is going with me I am so kacited.
Debra, Hope you have a great time and come home with some neat new plants.
Enjoy the round up!
Thanks Jackie and Debra. Have fun with the RU.
Rain stop for now but still predicted to rain more today. Had nice blooms though.
I love everyone of those blooms!
Like Debra I am partial to blue, but those purples are nice too!

Very pretty blooms Helena. Outstanding
I hope I get a few blooms in a couple of weeks.
I haven't even started some of the vines I wanted the most.
Tai aki
No Sora cross
Thanks Linda and Jackie, Me too. The ones I started early I ended up losing them probably a whole tray of seedlings. I'm trying to regrow some seeds before they are too old and useless.
But easy to get overwhelmed with too many.
I like your pretty Tai aki and No Sora cross.
Thanks Helena, I notice some mg sds I started 3 to 4 weeks ago are starting to look buggy.
I;m going to spray with my listerine generic spray since I had good luck with that on some
other plants.
I need to plant my older sds too. Hate for them to lose viability before I even have a chance to start a few.
Jackie, I haven't sprayed my mgs, hoping the rain washed and keep the bugs away. Once in a while I notice that some bug likes to munch on the leaves of the mgs and a salvia or two.
First bloom is of Q269, I don't remember it being so dark.
DFNM x Keiru
DFNM
Those are beautiful blooms! Love all the speckles in the first one!
Absolutely beautiful blooms Helena. Just look at that Keiryu x DFNM cross. I'll
be begging for sds I'm sure, lol
Special color on your Q269
Thanks Linda and Jackie. I do agree that those blooms were awesome and am enjoying all the repeat blooms.
It just seems that it does not want to stop raining here. I can imagine that you are sick of the rain too Jackie. I did move some of my mg, salvia and other seedlings into my gh.
More repeat blooms today.
Repeats are just fine with me! I finally have a few morning glories about an inch tall. I hope I can get some blooms this year. I won't know what they are, as I did not separate seeds I saved from last year, I just picked them and put them in a cup!
