Morning Glories 2015 #17

Dana, those are so pretty.

Sorry to hear about all that flooding from the rain Jackie. Glad you were able to get your plants up out of the ground in gh too.

My daughter took me to visit NO Botanical Gardens yesterday. We had a great time, weather was great. Lots of plants still blooming! Here's a few pictures.

Looks like you had a great time!

Helena, I envy you getting to see all those beautiful plants. Glad you
had a great time. What vine is # 3 and # 5? # 5 is a beauty

It was nice Jackie, it's been 10 years since I've been there. My first visit since Katrina, they also have a plant sale every spring, sometimes a fall sale too. I'd like to go this year but it's too early to tell with soccer games on Saturdays.

I think #3 plant is Thunbergia vine, I have to check for spelling, and # 5 is one of the tropical Clerodendrums.

They are all beautiful.

I agree! It has been in the 20's here and we just finished 4 days of freezing rain and bad gray wet weather. I am ready for spring.
love seeing the blooms from you all..

Great pics Helena, What is # 5 with the pretty white blooms??

Jackie, I liked those white flowers too. They looked like from the pea family of some sorts.
The plants are maintained by volunteers " friends of city park". I didn't find a label to a lot of the plants even when I looked for some. If it wasn't so far to go there I thought of being a volunteer there too!

That clero vine is Clerodendrum Splendens I think. I have two of them going right now, wish they were cold hardy.
That white one reminds me of Hiyacynth bean "alba" but the leaves are different.

Helena, I know you would enjoy being a volunteer there,
Getting to work with all those lovely plants.

Debra, Thanks for the possible id on the Clerodendrum,

Thanks for the ID on the plant Debra. Here's another picture of a neat plant growing there that I have no idea what the name is. It was a huge plant.

GOLDEN CHALICE VINE, I HAD ONE AND GAVE IT TO MY FRIEND..

Helena, that is beautiful!

Debra, are they easy to grow?

well they grow and grow, but they don't bloom for a few years from a cutting. I am hoping my friend gets that one to bloom for me. ( he has a greenhouse and a greenthumb)

Seems like I recall wanting to order one long ago from Logees but I backed out cause it
is a fall/winter bloomer and at that time, I only wanted summer blooming plants
Now I love the winter bloomers to brighten dreary winter days,
.

I'll have him do a cutting for us, Jackie. He is really good at doing that sorta thing.

Deb, if he can root us one, fine. If not, no problem.. :-)

u know so funny he popped in today to bri k me some chokes and peppers. I told him i lost my sticto, he said the one I gave him is blooming, he has already started another one for me, so I asked him to make a couple cuttings from the chalice vine, he said it was budding! That figgers I said.. LOL

Debra, sounds like he does have a green thumb. I can't imagine!!.

Two or is it 3 very cold days here. Busy days but my inside mg are still doing very nicely.

Hope you got the seeds I sent you Debra. Post office said you should have received them this last Friday.

no seeds yet, Helena. I will prolly get them tomorrow.. nice outside, I played out there and cleaned stuff up.
Thought I'd post a few pics of what I grew last winter in the basement...

Those are beautiful Debra!

Your blooms were lovely last yr Debra as were your blooms this yr,

Beautiful blooms Debra!

Well, this a different look (format) to our page. I think I lie the old look better.

We are having warm sunny days here in MS and I still have plenty of tropical blooming, Even a few zinnias that I started late got to bloom.

Agreed Helena,. This is just awful, no dates and I couldn't find my
way until I realized there was 2 pages on this thread. .
Other than that, your pics are beautiful. Great passion flower, pretty colorful
zinnias and I love the last bloom.
Blooms from Sept, 2015
Well the last one I tried to upload failed.

I hope I haven't missed any other posts.. love that blackie bloom, and the hatsu is gorgeous. Dana u have such interesting plants. No rain here been balmy infact, but the snow and rain is on the way they say.
I didn't see these newer posts of blooms while Posting From Work today. Gorgeous!

Thanks ladies. It will take a bit of getting use to.

Beautiful blooms Jackie, love every one of them!

Thanks Helena, Mine were old from this summer.
Well I can enlarge my blooms I posted yesterday but I can't enlarge Helenas beautiful bloom.

I think we have never been able to enlarge our avatars, Jackie, I just love Helena's Avatar bloom!
also love the purples you posted earlier.

Thanks Debra,
I finally realized yesterday that it was an avatar. Helena didn;t have an avatar
before so it kind of threw me..
I would love to be able to see that bloom in all its glory so send us a
regular pic of it when you can Helena.,

Ok Jackie, I thought maybe it was the avatar. I tried and couldn't enlarge it either.
I don't now if the computer changed the color of the bloom but I think it's the one that I called purple pinkkfusion. Here it goes. Those pics were taken in August 2015.

Helena, that is about the prettiest thing I've ever seen.. I just love it :-)

Jackie, I agree! Those are beautiful!

Thanks Jackie and Linda. I do like those blooms!

Thankful for the rain we just had but look what I found blooming in my back yard!
Didn't think I was going to get any blooms from this vine this year. Three blooms from wild indica, salvia "Mr.Jules", and had to stop and enjoy seeing the geese crossing the street!
