Beautiful, Delicate Morning Glories

Donna you would be getting the box from Pam since my Son-in-law is the cheif Armadillo slayer in the family. He's the only one that can stay up that long.

Yall girls better quit talking bad about my Cannas, both of yall....LOL...
:o)
Dee

Yes ma'am.

HARHARHAR

And this is a new one that just bloomed today. I was teasing Sbarr with it on another thread and got pre-ouccipied and forgot to post it here....but better late than never...
This is Heian no Izumi, and it's three of them together, such a beautiful soft lavendar color....I like this one too...but which ones haven't I..LOL
:o)
Dee

I am finally with child(children) my Blue Dawn is giving birth to new babies, woo! What a labor!I am still making my tower of Flying Saucers, but it should be done tomorrow. Then on to the Wall of Cardinal RED.What fun it is to create rather then to hunt and destroy. Great hobby! I have got to find all these wild colors. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!

AWESOME pic's.....I'd love to have just half of your collection....OMG! They are all Beautiful

Will there be another co-op fr these seed or do you have any available?

Thx, Carol

WWasp - there is something about a full Heian Izumi that seems like such an accomplishment. Mine were prone to tearing - but, such a feeling of elation when a perfect one forms, the wind hasn't torn it up or ripped because of weight. These ones were not very good to set seeds (for me), but you should be able to get a few.

I'm taking my co-op allotment from this year and will try to plant them next year when I get more settled.

In the meantime, I have this thread bookmarked and love devouring any new pictures...

To willowwaps,
You sure have a most BEAUTIFUL collection of MG's.......hard to tell which one is my favorit.....but the latest one "Heian no Izumi " is WONDERFUL !!
Brigitte

If there is a Co Op coming up I want to be included,
Brigitte

Heian no Yoso-oi.....

KaThud, OMG Pam I just fell out.........and it's the prettiest pink I've seen......We gotta get seeds of that one....
:o)
Dee

Just a first shot. I know it's not like you guy's. Hey! I'm new to this! I carried this guy in and out for 2 months this winter and then found out he could have stayed out. What we do for are children!

Great picture monterey!

I just hope that mine start making seed now.

Monterry that one is just fabulous. I love that deep, deep almost purple blue. It was worth the packing in and out to wasn't it?
Get some good pictures when its blooming better so you can enter them in the contest this fall.......
Yall don't forget to do that, when your taking your pictures of the MG's or anything else remember the photo contest will be coming up soon.... :o)
Dee

Akatsuki no Beni....

oh that is just gorgeous! brightened my gloomy rainy day here ;)

Look at all these pictures do you see one thing they all have in common (yes! They all are are beautiful) They are all shot srtaight on , from above. It's almost like a graduation picture. I know it's hard to get down on the ground, but a different angle( side shot?) spreads the look and makes those National Geographic shots that you remember forever.If you camera has a white balance setting (shade, sun etc,) Use it because in shade the color leans toward too much blue, or doesn't do the right contrast to the delicate nature of these pastel beauties. My camera has a chrome setting(Standard,Chrome, B/W) along with the others. It brings up the color in a picture where it normally would be washed out. THe great thing about these camers is that you can shoot 20 shots see which is the best and dump the rest. try it, and add a little spice to these HOT Flowers!

This is my Flying Saucer tower 8ft by 3ft it will be (sounds like Yoda from Star Wars). I made it stong. Hey! I have new blue Hibiscus seeds. Woo! Woo! Tradin, tradin. Does anyone have some MG cool seeds like hint, hint Willow to trade? I will take all on comers!

Had to find a picture worthy of the seeds.The flowers last for about 3 times as long as regular hibiscus. They go through blue, purple, and violet color changes. They flower and flower over and over.Hardy to 25f and make a great container plant.

Hummmm, I posted a reply but it's not showing up......oh well again....
No seeds yet of the Japanese MG's but I haven't started to collect any. They are just begining to set pods. When I get my back up supply I will be tradin for sure.....
I will keep you in mine Monterey.... :O)
Dee

Pudgy was saying that the Japanese ones are harder to grow. Is that true?. You were my inspiration for my tower. I saw the Flying Saucers at Walmart, and thought of you, thanks! Send me an address an I'll send you the seeds, I was just being funny. Ever feel like your out on a limb!

Maybe we ought to start a bdmg 2 this thread is getting long, cool ,but long!

Thanks Laurrie! I really wish it was raining here. I really need it.

Ok, the dunce that I am I have figured out why my pictures are coming out so hazy. It is horribly hot and humid here right now that my camera lens is fogging up on me - I wiped it off this morning but I guess the inside part was still foggy at 7 am.....

Second note is that the "no Beni" is really that color. I have done some things to it and have dispelled some myths about MG's - and I guess it shows.

monterey - I don't know about the other posters but it is really hard to get good bottom shots on some based on where my vines are planted (due to flower beds, other plants and various obstructions) plus the lowness of the blooms right now....I guess we are just showing them off first thing right now - but as the blooms get higher who knows what miracles we may be able to do....lol. Anyways, I went back out and piddled around, so these next shots are just for you.....

another side shot...

ditto...

This a list of the seeds that have germinated so far:

Sunrise Serenade - from Dee (pudgymudpie)
Tie Dye Pink
Tie Dye Blue
Heian no Kagayaki
Heian no Yosooi
Heian no Izumi
Joyce Cobb (they just now germinated after 2 months)
Vickie Harding (also just now germinated after 2 mos)
Mt Fuji
Red Rose (from Dee pudgymudpies)
Double Pink Picotte (from Dee pudgymudpies)
Kniola Blacks (reseeded for me)
Orange Noah (just not growing too fast)
Blue Silk (don't know where I got this)
Jap. Picotee Dwarf MG
Andersoni (T & M)
Rose Silk
(small light blue mg - the seeds were white)
Moonflower - light blue with red center ???

I traded the noah and Kniola with you WW for some of the fuzzy pink vine seeds and I had already put in an SASE for some but did not know it.. so I got a double batch. Which was a good thing, since I did not soak the first batch and none came up. I have one more smaller morning glory growing but had labeled it Moonflower, it is a very small light blue which is getting ready to bloom a second bloom. The first one was eaten by a bug but I did take a photo, just waiting a for a better photo.

Hopefully I will get some seeds from these to trade. I have an awful feeling that the one gallon pots they are in are not going to let them grow very much.

This photo is the one that has some bug damage and is labeled moonvine (the leaves are bigger and shiny).

monterey, I sent you an email.

Kniola from T & M seed - that reseeded

Lady Bug, Lady Bug Fly away home, I love that song and your picture tooo.....
:O)

Moon such nice pictures, I sure like that pink.....
