Wow, I'd be smiling too. Very pretty.

Moon that one is really pretty it looks like shibouri backwards!!!!! Or is that inverted!!! haha

LOL Alice...so it does!

Pam, is that no Mai??? or do you have a name for it, either way, it's darling!
Laurrie

Laurrie, it is one from the mix that WW gave me. It looks like pink tie-dye....

it's sure pretty, i have no Mai growing as well as the pink tie dye, just havent' gotten the blooms yet, so I have to live thru your thread meanwhile LOL
This is from my Mt. Fuji mix, really deep dark in color!

Love it, love it!! All these glories are great.

Me too second that for sure Brugie!!!!

Although I am still partial to that blue silk!!!!!

Laurrie it is a beauty!

Laurrie, that Mt. Fuji sure is pretty...! Such a vivid color! When your no Mai's and pink tie dye bloom post some pictures so that way I can properly ID mine....

This is one of mine from the mix I got in the last co-op. The color is very vivid.

This is another one from the same mix. The contrast of the two colors make them stand out.

Very pretty Busybee!

Laurrie, where did you get your seeds from of the blue Mt. Fuji? I got some blue ones like that from Ebay but I did not grow them this year - now I wish I had....Oh well, there's always next year tho!...lol.

Thanks :)

I have the same colors blooming as Busybee & Laurrie, and they all came from a pack from Park seed called Mt Fuji mixed. But that was a year or so ago that I bought them because I had them left over from last years planting. Don't know if they still sell them or not.

What would be causing my cypress vine leaves to become yellow? This just started.

I am in Calif. Haven't had time to come since Feb so it has changed quite a bit. Tomorrow morning I will snap some pics of the morning glories here. They have had NO care but there are still some pretty ones. Put the seeds out in January
and a lot died because my daughter forgot to water them. But now she is getting excited about them and working to remember the water.

busybee those are both beautiful. I will have to add those to the want list that is growing by leaps and bounds!

twinlakeschef hope you are having a good time in california

Can't wait to see the pictures Arlene.....!

Monterey, can you post a picture of them?

There were more, this is about the best left. They were marching up the vine, very scary!

Monterey, your vine is a cardinal climber. It doesn't look too bad. How often are you watering? Hard to tell but the soil looks dry - hey, my eyesight is really poor right now...lol. Might want to rule out spidermites so look at the underside of the leaves....

They are in a container . I was thinking that I might be watering too much. They only get about 3 hours of sun, but it has been hot.There were about 10 leaves all yellow.This is a far shot before, and during the day.

It could just be the heat if your watering habits are good...just keep an eye on them.

My Shirayuki finally had a bloom on it this morning. The vine is still only about 3 in. tall and refuses to grow, but the flower was beautiful. It looked like pure white satin or silk. I wish I had a digital camera, but no such luck, and I'm out of film for my regular camera. Sure hope it grows and puts on seeds, because it is a beauty.

I wish yours would grow for you grannie! I bet the bloom is beautiful....

Monterey,
I have that Cardinal Climber in Iowa growing at the base of a brugmansia in a 20 gallon pot. Doesn't look as mature a plant as yours but has bloomed.

It has a leaf go yellow near the bottom occasionally but looks healthy otherwise as does yours. They get the same constant dilute fertilizer and lots of water that the brug gets.]

Are you dead-heading? Perhaps it thinks it is done and wanting to put all its energy into seeds. Is it still blooming for you?

I agree with Arlene...your plants look healthy. Yes, leaves will occasionally turn yellow and fall - this is just nature at work. Who knows why if the plants are healthy, many factors affect leaves. It becomes an issue when they ALL start doing it.....

**edited to add: If you want to see yellow leaves on a MG vine and all falling off I got a doozie of a picture for you!!!....lol.

What used to be a blank slate; these seeds were planted in Jan or Feb at the California house.

View from the sink window of the house

Brings life to a kitchen to have a nice view of flowers

Very pretty Arlene!

From the side

Looks great Arlene!

You liked that side view, huh?
This is not a split leaf. There is a whole flower with an extra weird piece out the side. Never seen it before.

Another

Save me some seeds of that one Arlene! Yeah, I was thinking that the first side view had wings and flew away....lol.

Collected a lot of seed tonight but not any of these; it was a vine that quit blooming and went to seed. I have pics back in Iowa of it when it was blooming so have to wait til I get home. Am teaching my daughter to collect seed when I am not here.

However, they are so close together there will be no guarantee what they will turn out to be.

So hard to get seed in Iowa and here they are already re-seeding. LOL

Dwarf Picotee?

Arlene, I love your kitchen window view. Your mg's look beautiful.
