Morning Glories 2024 #03

We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1564987

Good morning ladies.
Thank you for the new thread Jackie.

You're welcome Linda. Hate it that I could not send a pic. My daughter has tried everything she could think of to help me but it's not working.

Hopefully you can figure it out soon.
Computers can be so frustrating.

Linda, it would'nt be so bad but we're so stressed here, Hubby getting ready to get the port implanted in his arm for dialysis soon. When they do an umbrella in his heart for the a fib, it will pretty nuch destroy his kidneys,so he will have to start dialysis.
We're just rolling with the punches here as best we can.
I've been looking at camera's on-line trying to find one with simple software. I will miss my My fine Pix studio software, it was so easy.

Sorry to hear your hubby and you are going through so much. I will keep you in our prayers.
Hope you can find a camera that works for you.

Thanks Linda.

Hope all goes well Jackie with your hubby. Prayers your way.
Hope camera issues resolve. I don't download my pictures to the computer for a couple of years now. Not taking many pics now either.

Thanks for the prayers Helena. I have about 6 mg's waiting to get out of the 8 oz foam cups. Going to try to pot up several of them in one large pot to save me a little work.
Hope you can send pics again soon, enjoying all your blooms
Still waiting on blooms from my 1st mg's I started April 19th.

We had a bit rain which is good but I'm not getting hardly any blooms. Hige is trying to, my clitoria has some blooms. I thinking of getting her in the ground, she's several years old still in a pot.

I lost my Clitoria this past winter and didn't get another one started, Love yours.
It probably would do fine in the ground, dying back each winter and coming back in the Spring I would save seeds just in case..

Those are beautiful blooms Helena. Love the color.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
My clitoria has a thick stem so I think it will survive the winter with some protection with leaves. Haven't done it yet.

Took a walk outside, feels nice not hot yet. Surprised to see this bloom and 2 from higes.
Last bloom from my carrot from last year, it's fooling me looking like queen an's lace.

Good morning.
Helena, that hige is so pretty. I didn't know carrots bloomed. How cool is that.

Thanks Linda. I'll be looking to see what the seeds look like. Maybe similar to QAL? I did sow carrot seeds last year but think they were round.
Well, it rained here this morning just enough to ruin my mg blooms.
But not these hibiscus blooms.

I love those hibiscus blooms. Very pretty.

Guess I lost my intended post from yesterday. Love your pretty pink mg and
your Hibiscus blooms are awesome.

Checking to see if I can send pics. I can finally send pics but I could not enlarge them so that I could actually see them . Making matters worse is that my eyes are so bad as it is.. Apologize if these are blurry. This is a cheap Kodak .Pixpro Fz45 Very disappointed with this camera, You get what you pay for.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
I'm glad you cand send pics Jackie.
Pretty blooms, they look good.
I still have problems with viewing the pics here on the forum, where they are not centered when I click to enlarge them. It works fine on the computer but not on my phone.
Three blooms this morning.

Thanks Helena. Love your blooms today. The 1st one almost looks gray then I realize
it's probably a lavender, gorgeous color. I don't even try to center my blooms since I'm always trying to block something ugly from the shot,
I finally see a couple of vines with buds growing and showing a little bit of color.

Both of you have beautiful blooms.
Jackie, glad you can finally post photos.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
Glad you see buds on your vines Jackie.
Another bloom from this light lavender. I'm sure it's from Azuremores seeds. I soaked 6 to 8 different mg seeds yesterday, now in damp paper towel in ziplock bags.

Thanks Linda. Yes so glad I can send pics. Just disappointed with the picture quality of this cheap camera. I've still got 3 weeks to return it and find something else.
Lovely bloom Helena., You've received some really nice seeds from Azuremore.

Beautiful lavender bloom Helena.
Jackie, I hope you can find a camera you like soon.

Linda, I'll take a few more with this camera and then try to decide if I'll keep it or not.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
I potted my mg seedlings up this morning. Mauve splash from 2009 original seeds. Azuremores blue silk and blue star and stripes from 2015. I hope they keep growing.
My mg bloom wouldn't open this morning so here's my hibiscus blooms.

Gorgeous Hibiscus blooms Helena. I am partial to the pink and white bloom. I used to know it's name but no more. Luna rings a bell but don't think that's it.
Before my Plumeria quits blooming
Ditch lily

Thanks Jackie. I'll have to look at the name tag later. I'm not sure either.
Pretty plumeria and lily. I have a few in pots too.

Ladies, your blooms are beautiful.

Thanks Helena and Linda.
Helena, I love the tropical plants you grow in pots. I'm amazed at the tropicals you can grow in the ground there without losing them over winter.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
Jackie I looked up the name tag of the hibiscus, it is Luna, "Pink Swirl". I do like it more than the dark pink.
My tropicals I do protect them with leaves the first few years if they are too sensitive to cold. Too volunteer this morning.

Helena, Good to know that your Hibiscus is Luna Pink swirl, such a pretty Hibiscus.
Always a good idea to mulch if the zone is a little risky. I had a neighbor growing
Brugs in the ground here and he had mulched them. The 1st time it got down to zero, they didn't come back.
Lovely purple volunteers.

Long ago a had someone tell me to water the pl a it's before cold or refreezing weather. I don't know if it's true but I always tried to do that with the protection.

Beautiful volunteer plants Helena.

I've always heard that too.

I know that texas and florida will turn on the massive water sprinklers in the field if it's going to freeze. They do it for most crops. Oranges, strawberry...

Thanks Linda. We had rain off and on all morning. Glad I don't have to water my plant. It was sunny and hot for 2 hours maybe but it looks like it wants to rain again.

Praying you ladies didn't get too much of that storm that went through.

We are still getting rain off and on .
I had a nice bloom this morning but pretty sure the rain is ruining it.
