Morning Glorys 2005 # 9

Hi,

Seedsower - The Mini Sky Blue,I think is Ipomoea hederacea...even though T&M calls it I.hirsuta...are the leaves that belong to the plant with that blue flower heart shaped or tri-lobed...the ones in the picture look heart shaped,but the bloom and the fuzzines on the sepals strongly suggest I.hederacea...

lincolnitess - Nice light pink I.purpurea there...Sunrise Serenade usually produce the separated petals every generation,but since the factor for the petal separarion may be similar to the "Hige" types,it may be possible for the petal separation to skip a generation,but don't hold your breath...consider your source...

Emma - The small blue one from 'Barabadine' is Ipomoea hederacea...I have tried their seeds listed as I.nil and gotten I.hederacea,...the blossum has a 'hederacea' look to it,there are two almost ripe seedpods to the left of the flower,and the bud sepals to the lower left of the bloom,look just like the ones in Seedsowers that are right above the bloom in her picture

The bloom color and size may appear different,but they are the same species...

The seeds that I received from the ReUnion Islands marked as Ipomoea indica were Ipomoea nil...

The blue one purchased as SOI could have come out of that as a dilute,or it could be something else...relatively common dilute blue features...what do the leaves look like...

The SOH looks like it has a nice color compared to many...may I see a picture of the outside of the opened bloom showing the tube and the sepals....also,are the leaves heart shaped or tri-lobed(?)...

TTY,

Here is a picture of a Blue Star partially reverting back to a Heavenly Blue...Heavenly Blue was the type that all the other Ipomoea tricolor cultivars were derived from...

Thanks Ron for the Ipomoea hederacea ID.
I also have seeds started that JJ sent me from Reunion of I. nil. I was hoping for some very pretty Pale Blue larger blooms....
Oh well!
I'll post them when they start to bloom.

This is the first bloom of my SOI and the only photo that I took. I'll take more photos next blooms.
Ok, took trusty flashlight and went out to the 'back 40' to check out the leaves.
They are Green Tri-Lobed.

Thanks,
Emma

Hi Laurrie,
Oh Yes, I've really had some gorgeous blooms this year.
Some are not blooming that well anymore, so I have my
back up plan...LOL
Taking my latest batch that I've been working on for the last
few weeks and planting them in front of the others.
Also putting many in containers.
STILL NO BLOOMS ON MY WEDDING BELLS :-(

I'm looking forward to seeing your awesome blooms.

Emma

Ron,
Your Blue Star partially reverting back to a Heavenly Blue is incredible.

Emma - what do the leaves on your Scarlett'O'Hara look like...

I've been thinking about sharing some views and experience on the subject of different types of 'fertilizers' , the 'poor soil' and no water hypothesis and how this may relate to blooming,but I didn't think there would be much interest in this poorly understood and potentially 'technical' aspect of the Morning Glories...
Later gators...

I'm listening ~

Ron, And I am listening.....
Here are Scarlet O'Hara leaves [slightly chewed as they are]

Ron, that Blue Star is neato...I haven't gotten anything like that yet, but I have a fence full of vines about to explode with flowers. I. tricolor seems soooooooo slow compared to the others. My Wedding Bells has picked up too, finally, and I'm hoping to get seed from it. Do you have the experience of it being not as aggressive or robust as the other tricolor cultivars?

I was so excited to come home from work and find Fujino Momo blooming! It looks like the photo golgi posted when I told him I had the seeds. Very large and more of a pink than it looks in this photo.

Here is Asuka again. The color varies from bloom to bloom. On this one the magenta color is almost in a spoke pattern.

There were 6 blooms opened on Asuka this Am. These two were very close together. The color changes to all magenta before closing.

Susan

Isn't Scarlet O'Hara supposed to have heart shaped leaves?Ron,tell us about your experience. Mine generally are grown in desert conditions,apart from the high humidity of Ohio summers! Most are never fertilized and never get watered unless it rains..which it doesn't. Only ones that get watered and lightly fertilized are in pots.They LOOK terrible as far as foliage but bloom much better.They neglected ones are lush and bloomless.But that may change as the summer progresses.
Here is another lavender variation of Blue Silk this a.m. Really has a prominent star pattern

Whoa! Lincolnitess,Momo is purty! How big is it? I,ve got some plamted but not blooming yet. And I LOVE Asuka.Keep me in mind if you trade seeds.
Here is a BLUE blue silk but seems mine all have a star pattern and I don't see that in others photos of their Blue Silks.
Yuuzuki is behind.
ps..lincolness,my name is Gail and I am a she.But I'll go look to make sure

Love that star pattern in the Blue Silk! Sorry golgi, not sure why I thought you were a he. LOL! Fujino Momo is about 6 or 7". I will sure save seeds if I get any.

Ok, you MG whizzes :) What is wrong with my Mt Fuji? This one looks like it tried to bloom but couldn't open :(
Anything I can do?

Janis

I had over 12 blooms today, most I've had yet :) The vines are just covered in buds now

Here they are
Heavenly Blue

I love these ones.. which is good cause I have them everywhere LOL

Milky Way?

Last one
Janis

Here is Akathoukinoumi. It had about 8 blooms opened today, but many of them are hiding in the foliage. Do you think I need to trim some of the foliage off so the flowers will be more noticable. I did not fertilize it at all. I'm having the same problem with Asuka.

Susan

It's odd you aren't getting more flowers. On my container plants, I have a flower bud at every leaf node, I'll be awash with flowers in a week or two. Maybe the stress of having its feet in a small space forces them to make flowers? I don't fertilize but plan to do so because the method requires it.

I'm only getting 1 or 2 flowers on mine when they bloom at all. Maybe I need to fertilize as well. This one bloomed this morning. Does anyone know what it is?

And Rose Silk, the only other one blooming today.

Well, that's not quite true. I have another bloom on Lavender Mist that won't open up. This is the 3rd bloom in as many days, and none of them will open. What could be wrong?

Emma, I've managed to get 2 seedpods from SunSmile dwarf blue. Hopefully, I'll get more soon and I'll send some your way.

Here's

Ukigumo (floating cloud)

This is Heian No Umi

I have one morning glory left that isn't quite ready to bloom yet, but there's blooms all over it, and it's the Henka asugao (blue blizzard).


I absolutely love all these morning glories, I really like those tie die ones,

It's obviously not blue silk like it was supposed to be!! Any ideas what it may be?

Here is another shot with a lot of split petals

Sylvia,
I have no idea why the Lavender Mist blooms are not opening up.
I've had that problem with a couple of my JMG's, but that's about it.
Oh, and Thanks in advance for the SunSmile Blue seeds.
I'll look forward to growing these.
On your pink that you are trying to ID, you might check at this link to see if you recognize any of the names as what you may have planted.
http://lionnet.fc2web.com/JMG/MGsell2.html#tairin
Also, be sure to post another photo that is more close up from your next blooms.
Stacey is very good at recognizing JMG's, and might be able to ID for you.

Wow Ronnie,
Your JMG is incredible.
I'm very curious what the name is when you find out.
Maybe Stacey or someone else will recognize what it is.
It looks like Velvet and similar to one that I'm growing that I still haven't ID'd.
HUGE Blooms on mine 6"-7".

kathy_ann,
Your blooms are beautiful.
Your Ukigumo (floating cloud) looks very much like Blue Silk.
Did you have Blue Silk and could possibly have gotten the seeds mixed up.
This is the only photo I've seen of this beauty, also at the above link.

Emma

I got the ukigomo from that link you posted, the japan web site, I bought 5 or 6 packs from her this early spring.


I t is a little diff from the one in the picture you just posted, yours looks like it's marbled all through the petals kind of, mine only has the blue around the outside of the edges

Susan your asuka looks exactly like my heian no umi that I got off that web site too. some of them look so similar to others it's almost hard to tell a diffference, kind of like all those brugmansias LOL

kathy

I forgot to ask this again, it got over looked above.

I got some red picotee japanese morning glory seed off ebay and forgot to plant them this spring. Is it too late to plant them now for blooms before frost? I can put it in the greenhouse if I need to.

kathy

Kathy, I agree the Asuka does look alot like the heian no umi. I thought it look somewhat like "AKATSUKI NO MURASAKI" too which means purple at dawn and that would be what I would call it because it does start out so purple then turn magenta. I love the Floating Clouds and the tie dye ones! This could be a new addiction!

Susan

kathy_ann
Hmmmmmmm, lets see what others say about your Ukigomo that may be growing it. See, even Japan isn't 'perfect', IF yours is a Blue Silk. Also curious if others think you bloom is a BS.

I'd say go for it with planting your Red Japanese Picotee since you have a GH.

Argh!!! I just went and found all the seed packs, I scanned 4 of them, I guess your right, here's the picture on the front of the seed pack, I ordered the ukigumo (floating cloud) from her on her web site, and she sent this, I thought that was the ukigumo, it's not ha?

Ok, I went to her web site, and the number B17 says Ukigumo (floating cloud) it is the same exact picture on the front of the seed pack as mine and yours emma. so is blue silk the same as ukigumo (floating cloud) the picture of my ukigumo doesn't look like the picture on the front of the seed pack at all LOL

While I'm at that web site, Emma, you should take a look at the HEIAN NO AKATSUKI it kind of looks like your unnamed fushia one that has the white ring around the outside. don't you think?

the first picture is sazanami (ripples) I never even planted that one, What the heck is wrong with me, I must have been all morning gloried out when I planted all my seeds, and just missed this one and the red picotee. Maybe I was worried about all them crossing LOL

kathy_ann,
I did look at the 'Heian No Akatsuki', but decided that it was the 'KOUKAN' (Red Crown) - if that is my bloom that you are talking about. I love your Sazanami (ripples). Too bad you didn't plant that one. It is great!

Here is my 'Koukan' (Red Crown) from this morning

Time for a new Thread . . .

Wow Emma that Red Crown is fabulous, as is the picture, you really got that one captured well in that photo!

Thanks Joseph,
I'll save seeds for you.
