I have a flower that looks like LITM but- it is white. I thought they only came in purple?
Does anyone have a picture they can share so i can I.D this flower? Thank you so much!
Love in the mist colors?
The pdb says that the most common colors are white and blue. so maybe that is what you have. http://plantsdatabase.com/go/19/index.html
hey, you get those crepe myrtle seeds?
Ohh yes and I forgot to tell you!
I had trouble finding the seeds,LOL. I think I got them out- I started soaking them and will plant them when I get home from work.
Wasnt thinking when I told you I'd send you a Bonsai in trade for them. It would take a couple years to make a halfway decent Bonsai from seed! LOL
So what do you want to do?! We can wait,LOL- or I can find some stuff around here to send you- or I can just send you the shipping back. -I'll still send you a bonsai later too though.-
Let me know!
They come in at least pink, blue, and white. The "Persian Jewels" selection has all three colors.
No no, dont worry about the trade. haha I can wait for the bonsai if either of us even remember in a couple years...:) either way its fine.
I will forget! LOL
I'll look around here- My boss will probably give me a cutting and I can send you a Mame with a little ceramic pot. Very cool little things!
Thanks Kelli!!! The seedpod is HUGE,lol.
Thank you- that's my flower. Mines really pityful though! LOL
They don't like the heat. Mine have been done for probably a month and it hasn't really been all that hot - hardly ever over 85F yet.
Thank you kelly- I'll remember that for next year.
crim-I have the white ones occur sometimes within a patch of the blue ones-I'm thinking they may be like hydrangeas-maybe the compostion of the soil-acidic or alkaline can affect them. What do you think?
LGW- I really dont know- this is my first year having them. Maybe your white ones are volunteers?
Hi CT -- the ones Blooms sent pics of were self-seeded from Persian Jewels, which were actually four colors: pink, white, light blue, and medium-deep blue... the repeat seeders were only white and blue. I think frogsRus said the same thing happened to her in San Diego as well.
LGW, I do not think it is acidity-alkalinity, as the garden was the same both years, no 'Miracid' or any other particular improvement! (Strongly alkaline soil and water here.) I think just a matter of the hybrid/cultivar reverting to the species or at least something closer to the species.
Fortunately, I wasn't counting on the pink, in fact they were planted in the "Blue Garden"! This year, I harvested all the white ones as soon as the petals drooped and only let the blue ones go to seed... hoping that any volunteers next year will favor the blue...
~'spin!~
You are probably right, Crystal. I love the blue ones so much-I hate to say I'm a blue flower fanatic-I hate to see them go to seed they're such cute whiskery little flowers. Thanks for your advice.
