Morning Glories 2025 #01

We had those winds a few days ago. Lots of homes damaged and huge trees down. Lots of semi trucks were blown over on the highway.
Hope you can get your window fixed soon.

Linda, we saw those overtirned semi's on the news. Crazy weather all across
the US
Hubby just taped it up with plastic for now.. I need a new storm door but I planned on selling off most of my plants this summer and jusr giving some of them away, haven;t decided yet So I hate to be out a lot of money. The last storm door I bought was over 200.00 from Lowes. (23 yrs ago)

Jackie, I know bad habits are hard to break when we have to keep picking up after family. But hoping you are getting stronger.
I let my vines climb up to the ceiling on the lamp cord, I noticed some buds up there. I went to check on my new vines in the green house and something has nibbled on the top of them. Had to cover them with 2 litter plastic coke bottles.
Always something after them outside.

Sorry to hear of the damage Jackie. Seems like all our hobbys are getting pricey.
Helena, I wish there something to prevent all those nasty bugs.

Helena, I loved the bonide systemic. A powder you water in according to instructions and it travels up the root system to the leaves and branches killing all the chewing bugs. It's not as strong or potent as it used to be. Thats what I used to apply to my mg's as it was impossible to spray all the mg leaves.

Jackie, I bought something like that and I used it last year but it didn't help much.
I think the damage on my mg vines was done by a bird the way it looked like it was cut and piece left.
One bloom this morning that really didn't want to open.

Helena, I love that deep purple. So beautiful.

Its a gorgeous purple bloom Helena. I love it.
Sorry the systemic didn;t work on your mg's. .

Thanks Linda and Jackie. That bloom got even darker later on. I have another bloom even smaller than yesterdays.
Not a very good picture either, sorry. Can't wait to get them all outside.

Wont be long now till you can place them all outside Helena.
Nice bloom. so happy you're getting blooms. I'll try to start a few as soon as my back feels a little better.

Thanks Jackie. Hope you keep healing and feeling better.
I had another bloom dark bloom this morning.

Jackie, I too pray your back is doing better soon.
Helena, those blooms are stunning.

Thanks Linda.
Have 3 blooms this morning.
Dark purple, light blue and Scarlet O'Hara,
I took 2 Pic of her, one without flash one with flash or light off. It has the dark center that I was waiting to see. The bloom is small but hopefully they'll get better.

Those are all lovely Helena but the dark purple is really special.

Thanks Jackie. I moved my vines into the patio this morning. Hope I can get better pictures now.

A few blooms from yesterday and today.

Incredible blooms Helena. I recognize the beautiful pattern on the 1st bloom from April the 2nd,
even though I can;t remember it's name.
Love all your blooms from the 4th, especially the one with the gorgeous shades of blue and lavender swirled togather, really special

Thanks Jackie. I know above is on 02 it was Mauve splash. The blue with lavender I think was supposed to be the dark blue purple. I think they like being in the warm outside. I'm having a hard time remembering names too.
