Morning Glories 2021 #08

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
I released 2 giant swallowtail butterflies mid morning today. This season is almost over.

Great pics of your Swallowtails Helena. Makes me sad to realize our outdoor mg growing season is over and butterfly raising season is over too.
While I don't like the bitter cold, i realize that I can't handle the almost 100 degree days either. It zaps all my energy.

Sorry for the double post, too many interruptions

Me too Jackie. I really don't spend that much time outside during the summer or when it gets too cold in winter.
Blueberry twist,
Twin milky way
And other repeat blooms
Going to keep checking for blooms until the threat if frost. But I stopped watching the news so hope I don't miss it.

Love your blooms today Helena.
Beautiful Blueberry Twist and Mauve Splash blooms. Pretty pinks, Lav Saz and
mutant. So happy to see all your pretty blooms Helena, mine are thru for the season
One or two popped up this morning I wasn't expecting,..
Blue with white bars
Akatsuki no Murasaki
Pres Bush
Clerodendrum bungii not a single bloom this yr, too much shade

Thanks Jackie.
Glad your vines are still giving you at least for now 3 beautiful blooms. I love the colors of murasaki and your pink, they were good bloomers.
Some of my vines are still young. I don't know why either but my clerodendrum didn't bloom this year. I have it in the ground though so it died back completely and was slow to grow back. I think I need to cover it with leaves to protect it some for winter.
I found a cluster of my wild indica blooming out back. And two monarch butterflies enclosed in my outside enclosure. Actually I found one that escaped to the outside.

Helena, that is amazing that one of your Monarchs escaped to the outside..
Some how he found a way.
Lovely indica, another one that did not bloom for me.
Mine was setting near the back wall of my house and didn't get enough sun,

Beautiful blooms ladies. Love the butterfly photos too.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
Jackie I had a Caterpillar escape last year when I was raising them inside and form its chrysalis on my sewing machine.
My mgs from this morning.

Crossing my fingers you get lots of seeds too. You have those neat plants. I'm not familiar with them. Pretty blooms on third picture too.

Beautiful blooms ladies.

Thanks Helena and Linda.
Dropped seed has given me a few baby mg's, hoping I can dig them up, and keep them.in the g house this winter if I can make room.. First I have to hope the'coming rain doesn't kill them They're just newly sprouted.

Glad you found those seedlings Jackie. Hope you got a chance to dig them up.
I have some milky way that sprouted too on the ground and pots too.
Blooms from this morning.

Helena, those are beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous blooms Helena. Love all the higes and the other purps, esp that one from dany;s seeds. Beautiful Lav Saz, Mauve Splash and Lav crosses,
Pink Porcelain??
I got 3 of the sprouted mg's potted up in cups, plus I started the pink ehigassa that I loved so well and Weird Saz, also started one of the Ao crosses.
Saving you some Ao cross sds Helena.
Couple of Ao cross pics in July this yr

Glad you were able to get them in cups Jackie.
Beautiful morning glories.

Thanks Linda. I hope I can start just 2 or 3 more mg vines. Would love to
have some winter blooms to look forward to

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
Late in posting today. Yes that was pink porcelain. Hope you have a few mg this winter too.
Love your Ao blooms this year they are special. Thanks for saving me a few seeds.
Blooms from today.

Helena, those are beautiful. I love all those colors.

Really pretty blooms Helena. Love the purps from Dany's seeds and that pretty mid to dark blue purp too.. That big purple, 2nd set, with all that flaking or blizzard is really special. Congo made lovely, dark blooms all summer and still going strong.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
I'm still waiting on a few vines to make at least a few blooms without defects.
I'm pleased with the ones you mentioned Jackie. Dany's vines put on quite a few blooms this morning but I only took pics of ones in first set of collage.

Enjoying all your blooms Helena Love the Lav Saz and amazed that the mutant made that pretty flaking. That big purple with the white border is really nice as is that M,Splash cross

Thanks Jackie. Yes that is mauve splash cross.
Here's some more blooms. Hope we start getting cooler weather soon.
Dany's blooms
Pink Porcelain 2 top, blushing bride 2 bottom blooms
3rd set big lav bloom from Onalee's Japanese seed envelopes.

Helena, your blooms are absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful blooms Helena.
Your PP and BB are really special. Love Onalee's big lavender bloom..
Pretty higes too. Love the blizzard on some of your blooms.
Cold here tonight., It's getting down under 50 and even colder tomorrow night.. I will be carrying lots more plants inside the g house tomorrow. This is the latest I've ever been getting all my plants back inside.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
It got pretty cool this morning too. Hope you have help getting your plants in gh too.
I have to start thinking long about that too.

Beautiful blooms Helena.Love the lavender with white border. The pink blooms
and the white hige have been special with very nice blooms.
I have almost all my plants in the green house except for 3 huge plants and 4 or 5 smaller plants. will finish up today. I changed up my shelves in the g house and now I'm making better use of the space..

Beautiful blooms Helena.
Jackie, you have been busy. Don't over do it.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
Glad you got most of your plants in your gh Jackie. Even though last 2 nights have been very cool I have too many tropicals still blooming to put in gh.
A few of these mg pics might be blooms from yesterday that changed color the red one, but the pink that is pink is actually lavender.

That almost red is so pretty Helena as is the pink that was lavender yesterday.
It's beautiful in both colors. Love the purps too.
Helena, I'm getting so much sun in the g house, more than I ever got before,
that a couple of my Begonia's have scorched leaves. So my plants are getting more sun inside the g house than they did outside. This is because of the new fiberglass panels he lined the g house with, it's clear.

Thanks Jackie.
That top red bloom is a blue purple purp that stayed open from yesterday. The large pink is supposed to be lav from Onalee's seed.
I'm glad you are getting more sun in your gh from the clear fiberglass panels. I should do that too to my old frame, I use to just cover it with plastic before I got this one. But its pipes and would not be easy to attach fiberglass.
A bloom from yesterday.

Helena, I love your beautiful blooms.

Very pretty bloom Helena. It looks a lot like a Tie Dye.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
That bloom might be from 2nd day, it was still opened. Very cool mornings here. But still warm by moon.
My blooms this morning.
1. Pink Porcelain
2.purps and milky way
3.pinks, higes and jaimie Lynn
4.some tropicals still blooming

Bautiful mg's Helena.Your purps are lovely, enjoying the cooler weather.
Gorgeous tropicals. I love the Malvaviscus, Scotsmans purse, cause it never fully opens. Your blue pea vine is so pretty, mine never even bloomed, smh

Beautiful blooms Helena.
