Morning Glories 2015 #07

I love that one, too Jackie. Gosh , it is so BLUE. :D Helena your blooms are just so bright. Are you feeding them a lot? The first and 4th are my favorites.
My Pandy is loaded with blooms, I am rooting a broken stem downstairs, here is hoping. I had a large red open the other morning..looks kinda like yours Helena. Prolly is one of your seeds..The camera doesn't show it as red, it was hard to get a shot since it was behind the barrel and I can't step into the bean patch.
Love the red leaved hibiscus,Jackie, those are not hardy here they say, mine is kinda like that only green leaves.
Any one know what the second flower is? It is in the plumeria tub, I have no clue, but I like it.
Have to show off the Easter Lillys from last year, they were from Joanna. The monardas are all popping open, I can always tell when it is the 4th of July or close to it. They are always bursting like fireworks.

Love your nil mg Debra. The purps are lovely in dark colors. Your 2nd flower might be a Balsalm or A Crown of Thorns. I don't think its one of those fancy Impatiens..

Thanks Ladies. Debra I'm not feeding my blooms lately. I've been worried a bit that some have not had a chance to dry out completely between the rain showers we have had. But some of the blooms seem to be improving. Been collecting some seeds already. Trying to keep names and descriptions straight this year. Hand pollinating too Jackie.

Love all your blooms Debra. The color on all flowers look great.

Wow is that first one a purple no mai? SUre is a pretty one what ever it is..

Love your blooms today Helena. All very pretty, brightens my day.

I agree with the others, very pretty blooms.

Thanks Debra, Jackie and Linda.

Debra that purple one is a new one for this year that I'm naming lite mauve blzd. I have 2 vines and the blooms very from lite or dark solid color to blzd. I think I also have one or 2 other vines that have a dark mauve blzd look but the blooms are smaller so far. Not posting them until it makes real nice blooms.

Well, all I'm getting now is repeats but still with variations to enjoy!

Repeats are fine with me. They are beautiful.

Some incredible pinks you're getting too Helena. Is # 2 the beautiful China Doll?
Love the 1st bloom especially.
So glad you;re hand pollinating. It really increases the seed production,
You'll be pleased.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

Yes, that is China Doll Jackie. Nice seeing it whiter and large open blooms. I'm glad I finally found my little brush and am hand pollinating. Just hope I get more seed pods on the special ones!

Helena, I;m sure you will since you;re helping things along. I'll
always hand pollinate now.
Some, like the speckled kind, are still stubborn about making sds for some reason
even with hand pollination,

Jackie, it would be nice it the blooms would cooperate in making seeds. I'll be happy with just a few seed pods.

Was kind of busy yesterday and today decided that I would cut most of the grass. It did wear me out but I did enjoy seeing my mgs.

Here are a few from yesterday.
Q1944 cross
Hein era
I want to call this one Starry Night
Lite Lav. blzd
Fujishibori

Here's a few from today!

I love all your blooms Helena,That Heian era is a beauty.
Your Starry Niite is special too but I think all these blooms are really special.
Is that the mutant, DFNM, on the 2nd row?
Hope you get sds from Lite Lav Blizzard.

Love all those blooms Helena. Beautiful colors.

Working on my software. it was getting so bad, when I selected a pic file, the whole page disappeared. Now I;ve uninstalled and re-installed and its still doing the same thing.,smh

Jackie, Irfanview is free and so easy. Helena your blooms are a sight for tired eyes. It was a long day for me, I hosted my Honda Owners workshop party I have been working on for the past three weeks, today it was a success, we had pancakes by ChrisCakes and 80 people, I am exhausted as I have worked two weeks without a break, today I worked 13 hours. It was so hot and windy today, I have no clue what is or is not blooming, will check it out tomorrow.

Helena, I hope you get some seeds, I would love to try some of those beauties you have been posting.

Debra, glad you're workshop/party was a success. They should give you several days off to re coup.

Those are some long hours to put in for a party. Glad it turned out good for you.

Thanks ladies. The one you asked about is Watercolor Jackie, should be called country-blue.

Glad your party turned out good too Debra. You deserve a break now to enjoy your blooms.
I'm working on saving seeds and sharing with you too Debra!

Here's what bloomed this morning!

Is the second one your black king? I grew one like that last year from a seed from you. what is the first one? That is stunning.
nothing new in blooms as far as mgs are concerned, but everything else is blooming.

Helena, great blooms. I keep forgetting to tell you that I love that 1st bloom. Do
you have a name for it? Pretty silks too.

ditch lily's and my Plum Surprise
As soon as I clicked on my pic software this am, it installed the updates so now everything
seems to be ok. No disappearing pages.

Helena, I love all the shades of pink.

Jackie, your flowers are very pretty too.

Thanks Debra, Jackie and Linda.

Yes Debra, the 2nd bloom is from Black King from Azuremore. It's supposed to be with blizzard, they are finally opening nicely and I'm still waiting to see it the blzd will appear. I really like the blooms from this morning. The first bloom doesn't really have a name but it's from seed that I grew in 2009, I think of a pink star that crossed with purple bloom to make what I'm getting now. The vines were growing together on a trellis, it was quite a sight.

To answer your question Jackie, I haven't named that first bloom. I wish I could come up with one though.

Helena, when I asked about a name, I had missed Debs post asking the same question . Because as usual I had taken too long typing my post.
Maybe we can help you think of a name, I like Star of Paradise or how about Paradox since its a puzzle. I like Pink Paradise too. :-)

great name ideas, Jackie. I love your Plum surprise, too! No mg blooms in my yard today. Keep posting pics!

Well, I went for a walk this morning, and these are blooming on the fence. All seeds from last year.

Beautiful display,Linda. I see a lot of the same Purpureas that I have blooming. I love that they have so many faces :)

Thanks ladies. I liked your list for names Jackie, thanks. But my 8 year old adopted g-son said I should name it Doomsplosion, cuz it looks like the milky way going to the black hole. What imagination he has! So it's Doomsplosion cuz it has irregular bloom!

Beautiful blooms Linda, love seeing what's blooming for you.

So here are more of my blooms!
Watercolor
China Doll
Lav spray
Q1044 cross
Pink Porcelain blzd

Pretty purps Linda. All my purps are volunteers too.

Beautiful blooms this morning Helena.!!.

And a few more!

Oh my. Those are beautiful.

Love his name for your bloom.

Thanks Linda and Jackie! So I have another tray of mg started. But hope you guys keep posting pics of your blooms too.

gorgeous! nothing new here. hot and windy up to 95 ...whew ...

I hope I get something new blooming but don't see any buds large enough
to open anytime soon. My vines could sure use some dappled sunshine to help with'the bud formation,
Love your 2nd row of blooms too Helena.

Morning glories on my fence.

That's so pretty Linda. I can see it much better when I hit the control and + key
on the adding machine which increases the size of the pic.Hit the - key totake the size back downFor windows 8 only perhaps.

Thanks. I use the control then the scroll on the mouse.

Linda, I was just sharing for anyone who didn't realize they could enlarge with the plus/add
key.
My eyes so bad, I couldn't see your pretty blooms on the fence unless I enlarged the pic several times. I'm asking the eye Dr to set up my cataract surgery anytime they can work me in. Finally tired of not being able to see more so than of being afraid of the surgery.

I sure hope you can get your surgery soon.
Both my parents had the surgery, and they were so glad they did.
