Morning Glories 2014 #10

All gorgeous blooms Jackie. Bright pink color on the first, love them all.

China doll bloom is much nicer today.
I think 2nd bloom is a light Tempest but not sure b/c of another vine climbing on stick too.

Those are gorgeous Helena,. Love the China Doll but the 2nd one is beautiful with the rainbow of pale vcolors.

lovely, Jackie.. a whitish HIGE! wow. how many points is on that blue silk? looks like twenty something.
Thanks Caitlin, soon you will have those same blooms cuz your seeds are on the way..
Helena the second bloom looks like an opal.. precious stone color..
BTW, LK ( Linda) her dad is in hospital getting a leg amputated... plz think good thoughts for her and him.

Woohoo! Thanks so much. Can't wait! I've never grown anything but a standard blue MG and this purple one. I'm interested to branch out. =)

I had four at once today. =)

Wow. I missed the link for this new room and look at all the beautiful blooms I missed.
Yes my Dad had surgery today to have his leg amputated. Diabetes is a nasty disease. He got through surgery just fine. They are keeping him sedated with morphine for a few days.

oh thank goodness, LK, I have been worrying all day and was going to call you..
Caitlin, beautiful display there!
potato patch gets a pot of something when ever he digs up a plant...lions tail in white bucket overwintered just fine , and the new vines are taking off like crazy there..

Thanks Debra.
Beautiful blooms Debra. Beautiful peppermint hige.
Linda K, Sending warm wishes and prayers for your dad.

Thanks everyone!
Debra what is the red flower? Is it a zinnia? Dahlia?

Glad your dad is doing good Linda.

Thanks Jackie, Debra and Linda.


Beautiful blooms Debra, love that hige and your orange Dahlia.

Untangled the Temptest vine, could be a cross. Getting nice blooms from china doll, and similar no mai, 2 different looks to mauve splash.

My Tai Aki's have all been deformed.
Lite Blue Tie Dye

Oops, I took too long pulling up my pics Helena so missed your beautiful blooms .
Is the 1st one a possible cross? Very pretty and I love the China Doll
Great Mauve Splash blooms.

Wonderful blooms ladies! Very pretty!

Thanks ladies.

Beautiful Tai Aki bloom and I love your lite blue tie dye.

Jackie, The first bloom is of China doll, do you know if China doll is on the Plant files? I'd like to compare blooms. I was thinking that maybe the 2nd bloom is a no Mai cross.
The Temptest is from the day before on my previous post, I untangled it from the other vines.

gorgeous blooms, my fellow morning glory lovers. You all made the end of my horrible day beautiful.
there is the largest bud on the arbor tonight, can't wait to see it. Twined and rewound the PPV on the gate fence corner tonight, it rained while I slept thru it and everything decided to go wild today.
Cya in the am..

Helena, I looked for a pic of 'China Doll in the Plant files, couldn't find it but I didn't have a lot of time to search.
China Doll blooms can be very variable, one of the things I love about it.

Looking forward to your PPV bloom Debra.

Morning everyone!

Debra, sure hope you have a better day today!

Thanks Jackie for the info on CD. I like the blooms I'm getting so far.

Blooms from today, 3rd blooms is Q117, so I picked the pic that showed up blurry but it wasn't when I checked after downloading.

Gorgeous blooms Helena. I love them all but partial to the Pink Porcelain x Choc Silk cross.

I didn't take pics of my carport mg's today. Same vines blooming day after day
Heres a purp on the pole out back and
My white Mandevilla with the pink blush.

Very nice blooms everyone!


Just wanted to let everyone know, that we are so thankful for all your prayers for my Dad. He came through surgery just fine, and is being returned to the nursing home this afternoon. It is a skilled nursing home, so the staff will be there to keep an eye on him!

Good news about your dad Linda K. :-)

Thanks Jackie. You have pretty blooms too.

Glad your dad is doing good Linda.

Jackie, my clitoria ter- bloomed today, so happy that it is a double.

Gorgeous blooms Helena. I love the dbl Clitoria. Mine is coming along way too slow
Breautiful Ao with the blue petal, I love it.

Helenas pretty Pink Porcelain x Choc Bliz
Blue Bliz for Debra
Lite Blue Tie Dye,I still love this vine I first grew last yr, I think its
a cross off of no Sora.

Oh, look at all the pretty blooms? Do the clitoria ter plants put out seeds easily?

Helena,I love the Blue on that , it is gorgeous. Jackie, I really like the blue blizzard and the Tie Dye too. Helena that China DOll is beautiful, and really love the dark purple and the 4th pic on that row.
That is a cool tri lobed with the speckles, I hope I see one from mine last year.. missing lots of things this year it seems.

Thanks Linda and Debra.

A few purps open today
The 3rd one might be Grandpa Otts.
Trilobed speckled
Purple Tie Dye

Thanks ladies.

Jackie, Gorgeous blooms. I love them all, your Trilobed speckled is special.

Linda, my clitoria had it's third bloom today, I missed seeing the first. It looks like it's taking off. I am sure it will set seeds. When I grew the single clitoria, I did get seeds from it. Hopefully I'll have some to share.
Saw my neighbor 3 streets up winding vines on 3 of his pine trees. Had to find out what it was, when I went by closer could see that they were cypress vines for the hummingbirds. Never saw anyone do that before and thought it was neat. He also has some growing on his side chain link fence.
Here is my first Brazilian Biquinho pepper, biquinho is a pacifier (little paci).
And my 2 repeat mgs.

Jackie I love your purps and am glad we get to enjoy their uniqueness, well, that might not be spelled right, but purps seem to have personalities when you grow them year after year..I have seen that draping method using chines bean hiyacynth, and this year n my cedar I have of all things a violet growing out of its trunk about my height up, and a virgina creeper out of no where, and I have added the old english ivy that bloomed for us, and then we tor it down, I thought I could get blooms soon since I took the top cuttings, and they are no where nears blooming. The back elm tree has red honey suckle, and English Ivy on the front and wisteria on the back.I have planted mgs there but nothing keeps going so far.. finally got the dog run bird feeder corner vined up with honeysuckle
( blanch sandman) mgs, and tall sunflowers are all tied up in that mess. My best living medium to grow morning glory's are my sunflowers.. this type sunflower gets huge, tall and glorious, wish I could color code one to look like my foot ball team colors..last year I had them arched with glories, using the wool to bend and tie them together.. joe clean out the bean patch so now my pots of mgs can finally to to their growing areas , I just need more poles..

these were from this morning, i had three wonderful hours to myself for a change out there.. it has been raining here the last 4 days of intermittent nice gentle rains, some hard at times, but no big deal..so happy I got to take all these pictures.. I love my old camera, but I am still learning how to use it..

I have tried the blue clit pea but I can't seem to get the sweet peas to hang in there, they fight for their space so I am moving some to the yard fences..I have to cut back the dog run vines, they fight all summer for their space.. weaving their runners sneaking in places they hide to root..rogue morning glory's get yanked, some i tear out cussing, that come up voluntarily, but now I know if I just pull the offending root it will stay out.. the pink purps are really aggressive.. ugh.
here is a couple sunflowers in the north fence area.. Joe and I cut back the shrubs, got the trees out of the fence line as best we could, and pulled about a half mile of pink and blue purps of the fence behind everything.. I am trying to just have one plant of each glory.. LOL this pic is looking north on the west end of the yard this am 2nd pic is the south fence middle area..here is the tree on the north fence and it is the plant that is on the east right of the first pic..here are the sunflower walls on the north end of the patio. and here is a closer look, there are glory's up these, the orange noah is just starting to bloom. it is almost time to arch these to keep them out of the electric lines above on this side.

Helena, gorgeous Clitoria ternatea dbl blue bloom. I hope mine gets busy and makes
some blooms. Beautiful red Cypress blooms your neighbor has going.
Lovely colors on your 2 morning glories.
You've had a great growing season so far.

Debra, beautiful red Joyce Cobb blooms. I like your blue and purple purp blooms too.
I'd give anything for a pink purp this summer. Can't have too many pinks for me.:-)
Love your Jamie Lynn pictured beside the pandy,.

Morning everyone! Debra, love your gardens!

Morning everyone. Thanks for the garden pics, Debra, love them! And I just got home from a marching band retreat up in the mountains to discover your package of seeds in the mail. Yay! Thank you!

Thanks Jackie.

Gorgeous blooms Debra.

Jackie, look what bloomed from the same vine on China Doll. One dark pink bloom and one light which is kind of blurry.
The 3rd bloom is not white but a very light lavender.
4rth a nice Ykon, full moon.

Wow, Iike the variations your getting from China doll! Very pretty!

magnificent, helena. I really like the special blooms of that China Doll. Full Moon is certainly a bright spot in my day, so I know your day is wonderful with all those beautys.

Helena, drop dead gorgeous blooms on China Doll
I love the 3rd bloom too with the blue touches. Trying to figure out which mg it is.

Thanks Linda, Debra and Jackie.

That 3rd bloom label says tempest but could be a cross. I like it too, some blooms show a soft pale lavender color.

China Doll is back to light blooms again. I need to tag that other one.
