Morning Glories 2016 # 09

Agreeing with Linda. Love the beautiful soft colors Helena,.
Don;t know what to make of my blooms taking so long,. I
see a few small buds here and there,.
Pink Fuji with spokes throwing a bloom or two
Pink Crinum lily
Pandy

Jackie, those are beautiful.

Beautiful blooms Jackie. The first bloom looks like a chocolate silk with a star to me, I like that bloom a lot. Love your Lily and all those blooms on your Pandy.

Thanks Linda and Helena. Helena, the star is very pronounced. These sds from
Ronnie,. Whatever it is.,
the bloom has been very pretty,.

I agree Jackie, it's very pretty.

Last night we got much needed rain, thunder woke me up.
These blooms opened this morning.
Last bloom is actually a purple color.

Beautiful blooms this morning Helena. Gorgeous pink and
I love the blue in pic # 3.. I don;t know why our camera's pick up purple as blue for some of our blooms That last bloom looks a lot like the Weird Saz I grew in 2010. I;ve got another one growing
From 2011 ignore the tag this is Fuji Musumi coming out of a nearby pot.
Rosy Red Picotee, no picotee
3rd is Jordin Rose, can't recover this one, no sds
# 4 Blue Blizzard??
# 5 my favorite hige

real pretty, Helena. It is really hot here... saw Pandy has buds, besides the blue purps, that is all I am gonna see for awhile I guess.

Thanks ladies.

Jackie, I love your beautiful blooms. The colors are so nice, I really hope your hige makes seeds, it's on my wish list.

Thanks Helena. Helena, my hige is from several yrs ago. I never could get
any sds from it, Or I did and they are mis-marked. If I ever find them I will'try to hand pollinate so I can have sds to share. :-)

Morning everyone.

You both have awesome blooms.

Thanks Linda.
I hope you get blooms from your volunteers on the fence Jackie, maybe that hige will show up again. I imagine that those higes are hard to get pollinated.
My blooms today, just repeats.

May be repeats, but they sure are pretty.

Thanks Linda and Helena.
Gorgeous blooms today Helena. Purple Lightning is extra pretty. We don;t mind your lovely repeats. If it weren't for your blooms, we wouldn't have any mg blooms to enjoy,.
Helena, seems like I remember trying to hand pollinate the fancy hige, but there was so much fluff to the bloom, I never could find the business end, lol
You would think that a volunteer would have popped up but not a single vine of this
beautiful hige showed uo the next yr or since

Jackie, I know. Those are extra hard to pollinate, if only the bumble bees would find the way. I know I lost one of the "Q" fancy's that way too. Maybe I'll find one for sale on ebay. I have a split petal vine with tiny buds already. Looking forward to them.

you guys are rocking my night after a very trying hard day at work. Love the colors and the shapes of them, Thank you.

Helena, I loved all your split petal mg blooms last summer. will also be'looking forward to your new split blooms. I think I planted one of your split sds but will have to look for it. I have a Dainagon, sic, and a Lav Saz that will bloom next. Just ready for anything different,..

Thanks ladies. My morning vines will be mostly from past trades, a few of mine I think.
Todays blooms taken with my new camera, a $40.00 plus memory card bargain.

OH MY! Those are beautiful!

Nice pics your bargain camera is taking. Can't believe the price.
Beautiful blooms too. Is # 4 a Saz ??
My blooms that should have opened this am didn't or couldn't. Closed up like they had already opened yesterday which they didn't.
Trying to upgrade to windows 10

A pic of Dainagon, torn but still a pretty color.
Opened today.

Jackie, that is so pretty.

Thanks Linda.

Thanks Jackie and Linda. That's a bloom from My Tie Dye, it does look like a Saz though.
Your bloom is pretty Jackie, pretty color too.

Thanks Helena.

Repeat blooms, a bit lighter, last is China Doll.

Those are beautiful helena.

Gorgeous blooms this morning Helena. Is the 1st one Pink Porcelain cross
or Blushing Bride or something else?? Beautiful China Doll.

My Lavender Saz opened this morning.
Dainagon

Jackie, those are so pretty.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

Gorgeous blooms Jackie! That Lavender Saz is to die for! The Dainagon is showy too.

Thanks Linda and Helena.
Helena, I'm so happy to have a Saz blooming,.one of my favorites
I hand pollinated today so hopeful for sds. :-)

I'm hoping for a few of my vines to make seeds too. I have already collected a few seeds already from some.
We had another bit of rain yesterday evening, not too hot yet.
More repeat blooms today.

More beautiful blooms Helena.. The 1st one is your Pink Silk??
# 3 looks like Lite BlueTtie Dye, it is a beauty. I know you told us what
# 2 is, but tell me again please. Not Hama ginga?
Edo Twilight opened another bloom today, so dark
Pink Fuji
My Abutilons were dying needing to be potted up a size or two. Just look at
my red one now, dripping with red blooms after getting repotted.
The pink one not quite as showy.

Beautiful morning glories ladies.
Jackie, your red blooms are awesome. Amazing how they take off after repotting.

Thanks ladies. Jackie, first one is Pink silk cross sometimes with more white. No name for the 2nd one just purple with stripes. Third is the Lite Blue Tie Dye, it just varies from bloom to bloom.

Gorgeous blooms Jackie. I love those colors, your Abutilons look great.

VERY PRETTY, jAKCIE. yOURS TOO hELENA.

Thanks ladies. I pulled a seed pod or rwo off of one of the Abutilons. Now I don;t know for sure if it was the red or pink. Oh well, it will make plenty more sd pods.
Easy from sd as long as you don;t overwater. Everytime I watered any Abutilons
I grew from sd, they would sulk like they didn;t want the water,. smh

Wish I hadn't misplaced seeds I collected from my past Abutilons and wasted them. I'm surprised I had one in a small pot that survived the winter forgotten outside.

My blooms today. Sky blue, Lav., pink tie dye, pink porcelain.

Beautiful blooms Helena. Love the color on the sky blue. Pretty Lavender bloom.
I like the pinks too, my favorite color.
All repeats for me too

Repeats are beautiful. Keep them coming.

Thanks Linda. I finally see some tiny buds on the rest of my mg';s. Sure is
taking long enough.
Trying to save a baby Blue Jay, 2 of them were blown out of the nest during some high winds, Can only find 1 of them as DH hid one in some tall grass. Wish he had not done that . I;m feeding cut up worms to the one I have. He didn't like the
'oatmeal. I;m afraid that the mother won;t find him if I put him out and
my cats will kill him if they find him,.
