Morning Glorys 2005 #12

Janis - Yes,that is what I was asking you about the leaves,but the first link you posted shows the leaves having single upper lobes,and the second linked picture shows them having the double upper lobes...is that plant continually displaying both types of leaves ot has it settled in one or the other type on the newer foliage

Gail - I don't know what the En Gaurd or the giggling is all about or even the relevance(!) of mentioning syllabic languages in American Indians ...I post a chart that I thought was relevant(!) to the Japanese we are trying to figure out and you mention some relation to Cherokee...I'll concern myself with Cherokee when I get 'Cherokee' MG's,and am trying to figure out Morning Glory names written in Cherokee...
The people and nations that developed the most technologically,were the ones who not only wrote everything down precisely,but had a very precise way of writing their language...and although there are many aspects of the American Indians way of life that I admire...their lack of having a precise written language is considered to be one of the foremost reasons,by military analysts, that they failed to develop technologically and consequently lost their land and have had their culture almost totally destroyed...by people who did have a very precise way of keeping(on) track...

I'll go out in a bit and look Ron. I have a houseful of kids right now :((

Janis

I have been gone all morning and haven't even read what's going on today -
EXCEPT that I noticed the word 'Cherokee'.

I am part 'Cherokee' Indian *_*
from the 'Real' Cherokee Indians from NC.

Also part Irish [Red hair and all],
does that make me a half-breed....lol

Had to throw that in

Edited
forgot to say that the Cherokee Indians from NC is in Cherokee County.....
I presently live in Cherokee County, Texas

This is AWESOME.
Looks like more of the 'Pink' color variation,
which I've been getting in different patterns from Solid to Frosty to Streaks
all in different shades of Pink.
Here is one of the 'Mauve Frost' blooms to compare

Gail,
OMG!
Then maybe it is the correct name?
'Akathoukinoumi'
is what was on the packet, but dummy me thought it was
'Akathouki no umi'
with the letters run together. duh!
So - that is why I didn't think it was the correct bloom
because the 'Akathouki no umi' is darker.
This IS the way you spell this one isn't it?
Joseph?
Ok, am I confused here or are these two DIFFERENT JMG's?????

...and to go further -
with your comment:
"checked Yuriko's website and found no 'th' in any name.Interestingly enough,Heian No Akatsuki looks like what many of us have been calling 'Heian Akathuki'."
Funny thing is that I'm still trying to get all of the names straight as I'm growing these out,
or seeing blooms from others, and I've noticed these two different spellings,
wondering if it was only a 'typo',
AND, have made myself a major big note to check further into this.
So, Thanks for this info.

...and ANOTHER POINT
'But following this line of reasoning and exchanging the 'th' for 'ts' gives us ..'Akatsuki No Umi' which we all no is a dark blue purple with white throat'
Is another thing that I've wondered about, knowing that 'Umi' means 'The Sea' - which to me describes 'BLUE',
and couldn't understand why a purple/plum bloom would be called 'Akatsuki No Umi' ! ! !

And, Yes, "I'm following this", because I have had these thoughts.
Hmmmmm
Japanese, very interesting !

dang! gotta go run an errand and haven't read the rest of this thread yet.

Ok,Emma,if you notice,'Akatsuki no Umi' means 'the sea at dawn' when of course it would appear dark blue or purply blue,in the low grayish light of dawn.
What I was trying to say was I think you were CORRECT in separating 'Akathoukinoumi' but that that 'Akathouki' isn't in the Japanese language.(I don't think) so I think it's a madeup name for our lighter blue flower.

A-hah!!
Gail, now that makes sense.

Oh lord,I hope so.

Emma where are you?LOL

I didn't go out and bag any of the mg's today... I need to, got like a dozen buds that I can see, and God only knows how many hidden. I made the drastic error of taking an 8YO, a 6YO and a 3 YO school shopping this afternoon :((
What a headache. LOL Got the girls some really cute stuff and stayed under budget :)

I will look through and find Ron's post on keeping them from cross pollinating and see what I can do :)

Hugs,
Janis

Ok. LOL I am gonna show my total newnes to gardening in this question. Can someone direct me to a site opr draw me a picture of what the different parts inside the flower (an MG obviously) are? I have beem looking and I can find definationsa, but I need a picture (I am blushing so big right now you have no idea)

Thanks in advance

Janis
