Morning Glories 2014 #13

Thanks Linda and Helena.
It would be great to plant a few mgs where you don;t have to worry about the mowers Helena,
Your neighbors might even like them planted around their mail boxes to enjoy.
Maybe a public place like your local library would let you plant a few.
Nichole, your mom could maybe take pics when they bloom and send the pics to you by email or phone so you could enjoy the blooms with her.
5 yr old seed should be fine. I sprout them older than that.

Now, when I said my mother moved here, I mean in the same apartment complex. I can walk over there in 2 minutes! So, I'd be able to see all stages.

Well thats even better. :-)

Two new cultivar of purpurea star-shaped!

Very pretty Dany.

Oh Dany, those are beautiful!

Beautiful new cultivars Dany.

Will be nice for you to enjoy growing mgs again Nicole. I do have seeds that I'm not going to grow again. So I can spread those around a few places in late fall or winter if I remember.

Getting a bit of showers which is very good.

Helena, I love those colors, they are so pretty!

Beautiful blooms this morning Helena.

I have 4 new vines blooming.I forgot all about these One is another no Mai, didn't realize I planted 3 no Mai's.
Striped Saz borrowing the bamboo stick from Helenas Watercolor vine.
China Doll thanks Helena, I love it.

Its breathtaking,.

Dany, those star-shaped MG are just unreal looking! God was having fun with His paint brush. =D

Love that white-edged pink. Gorgeous.

I found a packet of Dracula seeds that I collected a few years ago . . . I think I'll do some germination testing this weekend . . . just to see

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

Jackie, just love seeing your beautiful blooms. So glad to see China Doll and will be looking forward to seeing watercolor. I lost the seedlings I started of those. Will have to try again next year. Love the color of your striped Saz, Debra's pink-red and Azuremores wild blue & pink, the dark blue is really nice too.

Nicole, have fun starting Dracula!

Thanks Helena. I love the striped Saz with the white and slight touch of blue.
China doll is just wonderful. I left your beautiful Watercolor in the small cup too long.
So now I don't know if I'll get more blooms, its growth is stunted. I'll try again next yr too

Morning everyone! Jackie, your blooms are so pretty!

Jackie, I love your beautiful lite blue bloom. Can't tell you how many seedlings I also left in the small cups to where I lost quite a few. That happens when I start too many at one time.

Wish my Silver Wolf had no defect on it's bloom.
China Doll still has a bloom now and then.
Tempest too
Onalees white, hope to get the pink lone stripe again
Aloe saponaria (?sp) for my hummers

Love those blooms Helena!

Thanks Linda and Helena.
No defect on the beautiful Silver Wolf Helena. I love the color and wide white throat area
not to mention its lacy look. China doll is gorgeous.
Helena, I haven't grown Tempest lately but when I did, mine was completely different.
I think mine was all purple. One of us must have a cross!
I love your Aloe.

Thanks Linda and Jackie. I knew that my tempest was different from when I grew it before but I don't think it was supposed to be all solid. Mine was darker but had stripes, I think.


Beautiful blooms Jackie. I do favor your speckled and Blue LYK but all are very nice.

Love the speckles, Pootie! =)

Thanks Helena and Wifeygirl. Helena, its been so long since I saw the 1st pic of Tempest,
I can't remember what the original looked like or who shared seeds with me.
I wish the speckled types would make more seeds.
Cool here tonight, lows in the 50's.

Jackie, I'm pretty sure I shared tempest seeds with you. I think also there was 2 different kind of blooms. But it's possible that mine crossed too, the fun of growing mgs.
Wish our temps was lower, 60 or 70 would be nice, 50 seems a bit low.

These bloomed this morning.

Jackie, found your purple Tempest on 2012 thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=9206035

Yep, I think it's prettier bloom! It has blizzard on it.

This is my Tempest from 2012, I can hardly believe this is correct.

Helena, thanks for looking up a pic of my Tempest. Yours is incredibly lovely with all those colors.
I thought you had shared sds with me. I need to plant a couple more of my sds next yr to see what I get,
Beautiful China Doll in blue. Love your Choc Silk and/or Pink Porcelain cross.

Its only 61 here today but should warm up some. 80's will return this coming week,
Striped Saz......
Weird Saz, cool temps caused this
Pres Bush
Lovely dark purp
Blue Blizzard

Thanks Jackie. It's kind of fun looking back to see what we were growing in years past.
I'd like to grow out a few that I had then.

I love all your beautiful blooms. Really neat Saz, all are pretty nice.

Thanks Helena, I had some tiny 1 inch blooms today from the cool temps.
DH is working on my greenhouse today. I have rotten beams he's replacing
and replacing the plastic liner inside and the plastic covering outside too.
This is the 2nd Sept that I've had to return plants to the greenhouse early. Used to be
Oct b4 I had to worry about greenhousing for the winter,

Beautiful blooms ladies!

Thanks Linda.

Jackie, I'm glad to hear that you DH is working on your greenhouse. This weather has been crazy from different parts of the country. It's still been too hot here, but I'm kind of looking forward to just a bit cooler weather. It would feel a lot better to get my gh cleaned and just be able to work outside without sweating to death.

Thanks Linda,
Helena, DH had not worked on the g house lately and it showed. Thank goodness'for DGS
who is a lot of help to me.He's done all my work down there of cleaning, pulling weeds, etc and he makes money and the work gets done, Works out well for both of us.
Hope you get a break from the hot temps soon.

A new form of purpurea .... to cross with shibori Blue or Red.

Dany, that is so pretty!

Wow Dany, those blooms are gorgeous! I love the yellow color with the pink center.

Dany so beautiful its hard to believe its a purpurea.

Have 2 blooms from yesterday and one from today. Baby blue reverse tube is from today.

Beautiful speckled and love the soft blue color on your reverse tube Helena,

My blooms all looked horrible the last couple of days in the cool temps. It was
warmer yesterday and absolutely beautiful today but my blooms still look awful,
Didn't affect the purp blooms.

Thanks Jackie.

Considering how cold weather affects the blooms,Jackie your blooms still look pretty nice. I hope you still get some good warm weather. It's way too early for cold weather in September!

wow I have missed a lot. So glad you all posted such wonderful shots and blooms.
LK... I am going to send you some vines that will bloom for you, leave them in their pots.. sink them into bigger pots and feed. I wish I had pics to show you all, but all I have are purps and orange noah and cardinal vine right now, and sad to see so many worm holes in my tower of power seed pods.oh I still have pandy blooms and a few seed pods, hope they are viable.. will check the big tub and arch this weekend to see if I have any seeds in those pods.
Been a weird year for me/ niece is here surprise visit, and haven't seen her since my sister died.
The purps are staying open late now and turning colors.. looks loverly I think..

Good news for me! About 2 years ago, someone sent me a Dmail about my tie-dye mg seeds they had received - I had sent in some packets for the new members . . . anyway, I had messaged her back, and she has some seeds from the plants she collected! Yay! So, even if I can't find my original seeds, at least I'll have some direct descendant seeds!

Morning everyone!

Beautiful blooms everyone!

Debra, do I keep them inside for the winter, will they survive?

Nichole, I am glad to hear you are getting some of your seeds back!

Visited a nursery this morning before going to do my shopping. Found 3 mgs they had, the tree that I can't remember the name, wish mine was blooming like theirs was. Sweet potato vine blooming too. The third was variegated or neat leaves but no flowers, I was tempted but didn't buy anything.

My indica mg with only one bloom, I think it's getting too much shade and bugs have done a number on the leaves.
