Morning Glories 2015 #08

Awesome blooms everyone.

Thanks Linda and Jackie. That last one was Mauve splash Jackie. It makes both kinds of blooms, dark ones and with star.

Beautiful poppies and healthy looking too.

I love the first one , Helena. So much like looking into a starry sky at night.
Tony , your poppies are fantastic and your mother is beautiful.

I love seeing my blooms, so here's more repeats! And new batch of seedlings that need to start potting up!

Thanks Debra, I did name that one Starry nights!

I agree Tony's mama is beautiful.

Pretty blooms Helena, and I love that name.

Mauve Splash is really beautiful and a special mg Helena. I love all of her different patterns.

I have 3 new open this morning
Although imperfect, the color is amazing in person on this bloom Ebay's Plum velvet, thanks Helena, its very rich looking,
Gray Star, haven't grown this one for a while
This last one is a beauty, PPV, shared with me by Helena, thanks Helena.

Your new seedlings look great.

Jackie, those are beautiful colors, I love how deep the color is in the first one!

Thanks Linda..
Helena, forgot to say, I love your pink bloom above. Have you told us a name on that one?
Its one of my favorites.

I LOVE THAT GRAY STAR, JACKIE IT IS BEAUTIFUL. ( DANG CAPS LOCK, I AM AT WORK)
HELENA, THAT 8 SPOKE INTRIGUES ME TO NO END. LOVE IT.

Thanks Debra. I like the Gray Star too. Hope it makes lots of seeds.

Thanks ladies. Jackie, I think I should name that one Pink Paradise! I counted the spokes too on that one Debra!

Jackie, love the blooms and colors of your new blooms! Hope they make lots of seeds for you.

My first white lily to open today. Shibori (purpurea), and old faithful little red mg!

Helena, those are beautiful. I had a spider lily open yesterday.

love the lillies.. a lot! what is the name of yours, Helena>?

Thanks Helena. Love your white lily and the pretty purp.

Guess I've nevet seen a spider lily Linda. I love it,.

One new bloom today, supposed to be Helenas Blue Swirl, a Chocolate Silk for sure.
I love Chocolate Silk so that's fine. :-) Lets see what the next bloom does.

PPV from Helenas 07 sds. This one is making beautiful blooms Helena.

a katydid ate this Gray Star bloom up this am.

Plum Surprise opened new blooms today.

Hi Jackie, I found our bug.. Charidotella sexpunctata https://www.google.com/search?q=Charidotella+sexpunctata&oq=Charidotella+sexpunctata&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Well no wonder it was always on the pandy, one if its favorite meals. lol.

Thanks ladies. Debra, I don't know the name for my white lily. It was a pass along from a dear lady that got me started on hummingbird plants. I've grown this plant ever since, it gets to be 5 ft or so after the first year and reseeds a lot. I have to pick them after the bloom is done or else they would take over the garden just like my crocosnia (sp?)

Love your pretty spider lily too Linda. I see the orange kind along the roads here in the summer.

You are welcome Jackie. Sorry about the mix up seed. I started growing mgs in 07 so I'm not surprised to get mixed up seeds. I have lots of mystery seed packets from times I gathered and by the time I came inside the house forgot what seeds I had.
Love your blooms Jackie. Nice color to them!

Glad you guys ID'ed that bug. I did find one just like it on my mg leave about 2 weeks ago. Had no idea what it was until now. A gold neat bug too bad it does so much damage.

Thank y'all for all the compliments about my mama, she looks very young for her age.

Here's me:-)

Hi Tony:) I bet your momma is glad she has you.

I know I am glad I have my son.. cept, now he has a girlfriend after being single all his life, it is so weird and takes getting used to for us all, he is 38.

Helena, I have been killing those bugs, but now that I know they aren't the ravenous japanese beetle, I am going to let them chew a few holes. The bug I'd like to catch in the act is the one that bites the flower stems about 6 inches from the bloom and the whole top of the flower stem looks like it has the "bend overs". *sigh*
keep the blooms coming!
I still have a problem ID'ing seeds, so now worries here. You are all such a great bunch of people.

Helena, I mix up my sds all the time so no problem and I do love the Choc Silk, one of my favorites. It might be if I plant another sd from that same pkt, I might get the Blue Swirl.
Tony nice pic.. I'm sure you got your good looks from your mom :-)

Debra I have the bug that does the damage you mention too. No shortage of bugs here.

Hey Tony. So nice to put a face to who we are talking to.

Jackie, those are beautiful blooms.

Thanks Linda.

Pink Frost bloomed this morning. I can't tell you how pretty this one is.
Thanks Helena.

Your welcome Jackie! They are beautiful, I'm glad you like them.

Love your blooms Jackie, I'm glad the vines are making such nice blooms for you. Your Pandy looks great, and love the color of Rex Begonia.

A few of my blooms this morning! Last is my cucumber vines, I hope I really can have cucumbers this year.

Thanks Jackie and Linda!

I love the lavenders too Jackie.

Your blooms are beautiful! Nice colors, I'm enjoying them a lot.

We are having light rain here today. Only a few blooms opened today. They were pretty dry yesterday and needed to be watered which I only did to some.

China Doll
Purpurea shibori
Lite Lav. blzd
Pink & white
#6 Peach from Dany

Love the 'China Doll Helena. and the pink and white.
Your shibori is my favorite purp. I love the higes too (a purp) but I don't have a single one
started.

Thanks Jackie. I like that China Doll bloom a lot too.
Lets face it, it's just impossible to grow all the mgs seeds we have and to keep up with the vines. I guess it's best to do a few at a time so not to get overwhelmed. I have to do that now, getting potting soil and mixing them for my seeding.

I love Dany's # 6 Peach, the color is nice.
Yukon, Full Moon
Dark Pink Frost
Purple star
Lite Lav. blzd

Helena, those are all beautiful!

Great blooms this morning Helena. Love Dany's peach and nice to see a Yukon.
Yulon doesn't do well for me. Love the Dark Pink Frost.. when I finally got the Pink frost'to germinate and grow, it was my last sd. So happy mine geminated
Youi're so right about being overwhelmed, thats how I feel..
