Woofens,
Sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but your Blue is Not 'Blue Silk'.
You have a Heavenly Blue Ipomoea tricolor.
[All tricolors will have a YELLOW throat].
But, the blooms really are pretty.
Also, Blue Silk has Variegated Tri-Lobed Leaves.
Your vine has Heart-Shaped Leaves.

Here is photo of one of my Blue Silks from this morning

sigh.............. thanks Emma :) I was hoping, but figured it wasn't. I'm really glad to know about the yellow throat, I didn't know that. Its going on my index card for Ipomoea Tricolor.

*mental note* remember to BEG EmmaGrace for seeds this fall* LOL

Yours is beautiful. I know I planted blue silk :( Oh well, I"m gonna have lots of these :)

Thanks again
Janis

Does this one have a name?

Celia,
Yours is 'Milky Way' Ipomoea purpurea

Celia, Looks like Milky Way

Thanx!

Sorry Ron, no photos of Seiryu from the side...judging from the last photo, they probably aren't the same flower.

Gail - based on the pictures I saw of your blooms from last year and what you have this year,...I think yours is producing a 'Royal Robe' look as part of the pattern that is has built into it,but my impression is that it is of different parentage...;
The type that you have looks more similar to the type of cycling patterns that some of Emmas produces...;
These types of 'blues' were coming out of the Tairin-Zaki mix from a few years ago...every year the types that come out of the Takii and Sakata mixes changes somewhat,despite both companies claims to consistency in the mixes...;
Here is a lavender-pink tie dye that showed up recently...;

Here is first bloom of "Dainagon",about 5" across I would guess.

picture 2. Seed packet shows vivid red ,(which of course,doesn't exist!) looks very close to photos of Akatsuki No Murasake.

Yuuzuki

Just plain jane MG's today but pretty so here they are

another

last one

Here is a lovely variation of Blue Silk,growing in my daughters garden.I gave her the plant,started from the same seed that my Blue Silk grew from.Is most definitely Lavender- not Blue.

another. Each bloom she has had is lavender,so it wasn't time of day or weather factors.

Holy Smokes, Gail....
That is GORGEOUS!
Can I PAALLLLLEEEEZEEE have seeds when you have them.

Emma

I will do my best to make her tag that vine,Emma! BUT,she has THIS to contend with every day.....

and they're BADDDDD..!!!!!

Here are 2 Mgs this morning...one of them is Dainagon,but the previously pictured crew removed labels as part of yesterdays amusements.Color is redder in both but cannot capture it correctly.

NOW I understand,
What precious babies.

Precious children and awesome mgs Gail.

Thanks Joseph! Here is another of my daughters MGs,she sent me this pic this A.M. Might be Yuuzuki,but look at the large white margin

another pic,followed by my Yuukuzi for comparison

Mine

The only morning glories that have been blooming for me lately are the milk way and grandpa otts. Been searching and searching in early morning hours...LOL

Found this beauty this morning. YeeHaw!....LOL

Sunrise Serenade

another of mine. All her MGs come from plants I start in the spring

Oh,COOL,Nikki! I think that is the reddest any morning gets.
btw,how are the blue silk comin' along?

Ok, I'm just now reading all that was posted the last few days,
since I've been out of town.
ALL of the MG photos are just incredibly beautiful.
Isn't it a shame that we can only enjoy them for a few hours,
with some not even that long.

Would LOVE a couple of your seeds of this awesome JMG.

Did you ever get an ID on it?
Emma

lincolnitess thought it looks like my akathoukinoumi,and I think he's right. His photo captures the blue better than mine.

I am going to start another thread since this one is getting long.
It will start with an AWESOME and unusual Tye Dye.

Gail
Here is a pic of the progress of my blue silk.

Wow, that is a strong looking vine. It ought to be 20 feet long in another couple weeks (just kidding, but they do take off fast).

LOL]
Can't wait!
