Thanks. I like the pink blooms too, a lot were not what I was expecting them to be.
Todays blooms.

Beautiful blooms Helena..I'm partial to the last one with'a star and stripes, A 4th of July bloom for sure. Very unusual.

Oh my, those are so pretty. I like them all.

Thanks Jackie and Linda. That last one is from a old seed with label Pink LYK. Thought it was a neat bloom too. I'll have to check what the next bloom will look like.

Helena, I never even knew there was a Pink LYK. I wish I had reminded'you to pollinate that bloom, I'll be shocked if the next bloom opens the same.
Yes please send a pic when the next one opens..

Jackie, I did have a pink one and a lavender one besides the blue LYK. I guess this purple one is a cross, I can tell by the leaves. Yes it did have another similar bloom this morning. Look at all the blooms I had this morning, was too busy to post until now.

And these blooms.

Wonderful blooms today Helena. Can't believe the pink LYK with the same pattern.
as yesterday. A unique bloom for sure. Love all your blooms. the soft pink is a beauty,.
Pretty blooms on the 2nd row too especially # 2 and # 5 and the'beautiful speckled..

oh my gosh, Helena, your blooms are so pretty and some of them even look like someone painted them. I love the glazed look on the third pic above. Jackie , I hope to see some of your seed vines bloom here, Helena's seed pot is vining like crazy.

We're looking forward to your pics too Debra.

Helena, those are awesome blooms for sure.

Thanks Jackie, Debra and Linda. I enjoyed seeing yesterdays blooms too.
A few more blooms today from other vines too.

Some more blooms and my turtle visitor.

Those are beautiful Helena, I love the 1st one in the 2nd group. Love your turtle.

me too! :D

Lovely blooms Helena, Is that a 4 o'clock on the 1st row?.
1st 2 inside the washroom theother nite
3rd is Deb's beautiful lavender
one of my blues
Debs pretty pink should have stripes but other pollen got to it.
Glad to have a pink

One vine I had marked as no Mai came out a tiny lite blue looking
like a species mg.
DH has pulled and chopped my infected pandy down off the fence. If I can clear a space today or tomorrow, I might try to plant a few older mg sds there. Its over 100 here every day heat index, don't know if I can stand to work outside.

Thanks ladies. That yellow orange is my "pumpkin" Jackie. Seems it has new marking along the star, that was the first bloom on a few vines that I planted and are just starting to bloom.
Beautiful blooms Jackie, I love the colors of all those blooms. Would love a few seeds of Debra's Lav. with the star (3rd bloom) if you get enough feeds.
Glad you DH go rid of the infected pandy. Yeah it's pretty hot and humid here too. I spend an hour or so separating and untangling my mg vines that were too close together. I still have to water them.

Thanks Helena. You know I will save you a few sds of the pretty Lav.
Trying to keep my vines separated early on so de-tangling won't be such a chore.
I just don;t have enough room there by the trellls on my carport. I have 30 vines lined up there but only enough space for 12 or so.to have enough room for each,

Beautiful blooms Jackie.

Thanks Linda.

Thanks Jackie. I'm happy to hear you have 30 vines growing, feel about same about space here.
More blooming this morning.

Pumpkin
Jackie's pink tie dye, love the this soft bloom, thanks Jackie.
lav cross
Ice silk-white bloom
Temptest label ??

Helena, wish I could remember the name of the 1st one on 1st row. It's
becoming a favorite. Is the 2nd bloom Edo?
Love the lite PInk Tie Dye and the Lav cross.
Tempest, what a beauty
Maybe the PinkTie Dye will darken up.

Debs pretty pink
BMN = Blue Marble Not
Unknown in outside tub, a volunteer, the ants like it.
I think it might be Becky's Rabenda. I
A beautiful Mandevilla in red
My Black Eyed Susies, Maybe you can see pandy cut down on the left
I've still got to pull up the weeds on the ground underneath where pandy
was growing.

Thanks Jackie. That first bloom is from AoMurasaki Youjiro Blizzard, 2010 seed which it was supposed to be a dark purple. I was kind of surprised to see it having light blooms. I have two vines and similar color, this is the 2nd vines bloom. I should get make lots of seeds, I'll save you some. Yes the 2nd bloom is Edo, I love the dark rich velvet color.
Love your beautiful blooms. I can see your pandy fence bare. Vivid color on your Mandevilla and your black eyed susies are blooming their hearts out. Very nice.

Beautiful blooms ladies.
I love that pumpkin morning glory.

I love them all. I think Morning glorys are the most interesting flowers. Always a variation with each bloom, no two blooms alike. I have never grown a mandevilla. It has been so hot here and I baby sat the dogs next door this weekend and we spent more time inside than out. Glad you got the pandy and it's disease put away, Jackie. .Maybe you should try a new seed from a different location?

Thanks ladies. Helena, I still have to pull the dead pandy off the fence, dh just got part of it yanked down. Also he left part of the stems coming up out of the ground which'needs to be pulled or cut or something so I can plant regular mg';s there..
Deb he didn't dig up the tubers and the main tuber is huge by now, started in 2006
so 11 yrs old. I wish he would dig it up and plant it in the front yard, maybe the bacteria wouldn't find it for a while.
Vivid lightning here all the way to the ground. Thunder roaring like a tornado. Hope the'storms end soon.,The rain going around us for the most oart.

Jackie, sorry your pandy still needs cutting down. I did that with my wisteria under our biggest tree in front yard where it spread and keeps coming back up. I was out of breath just cleaning a small area, so I know it's a big job doing it at out age. But I now have a fence where I'm going to have my purpureas and higes growing.
Took these few pics at 6:30 before the rain started, it was still cloudy too.
AuMurasaki Youjiro Blzd #1 & #4, same vine as yesterdays blooms.
Gray Haze
Pink Frost
Pink tie dye

Whoa, those are beautiful , Helena. Isn't that AuMurasaki Youjiro Blzd just something! Beautiful!

Debra, I agree, they are beautiful.

Helena, gorgeous blooms this morning. Love the Aomurasaki youjiro blizz.
and the Gray Haze too. Although my Pink Frost hasn;t bloomed yet, your Pink Frost looks just like the one I;m calling Debs pretty pink so I bet that's what I'm growing.
Very pretty wide white throat on the PTDye
Helena, I;ve got a couple of yours coming along, hope I see blooms soon.
Debs unknown Lav in the washroom, 1st 2 pics
Pretty pink

Thanks ladies. I was surprise by the pink tie dye too but I'm going by what's written on the label. I do like the wide white throat though.
Beautiful blooms Jackie, My fav is on the middle, even though the others are very nice too. Hope to see blooms from your next batch of vines too Jackie.

Love the blooms you have today, Jackie. I got a bloom! Wish it was not blurry.

Thanks Helena and Debra.
Helena, i see a few more with small buds that should bloom fairly soon. I have at least 20 that I just potted up to their final size last week and today. so it will be a while
b4 those bloom.Sure has been a strange growing yr for me,
Debra, your bloom doesn;t look blurry to me, very pretty.

.Thanks, Jackie. It is a volunteer from a year ago, it was the first bloom last year , too. I didn't think I Nils came back from dropped seed.

Debra, that is a beautiful bloom.
