Emma,

What's the plant in your last picture that has the maple-like leaves? Just curious...fab pictures!

Joseph

Emma sorry I didn't say that they are awesome :)

I am not going back to the last thread cause my internet has been on and off all day, they came this AM and fixed the cable TV, now the internet only half works LOL. They come back tomorrow to fix it.

Everyone, the MG's are so awesome thanks so much for sharing them Every day I learn a bit more and see beauty I hardly imagined. I mean too, too, its not just something to say. I feel very lucky to be producing flowers and pictures of flowers to share with all of you

Y'all are fast becoming another family to me :)

Hugs to all
Janis

Oh Great, Janis, your back in action!
Your baggies make it look as it you are starting with your Christmas decorations early....lol
Looking forward to hearing all about this.

Joseph that is a 'Red Castor Bean Plant'. The others are much taller. I also have a Burgundy growing that is spectacular.

I'll email you photos of the mature 'Burgundy'.
It is much prettier.

doesn't it look funny? LOL I'm sure the neighbors were peeking out their blinds saying what is that fruitcake up to now????

I asked for their stepladder to get to the top ones, but it got dark LOL
They are gonna send the guys in little white coats after me.

Janis

I thought this looked so neat, with the Milky way open and the heavenly blue just starting to

last one for now, not gonna have as many JMG's cause they are all in baggies LOL

I will have the chocolate plum for breakfast with a side of toast please,Emma.
Here is my first eensy-weensy Matsukaze

and "henka"

This feathered pink has come back again this year. It is from I.purpurea that reseeds and sneaks into everything.

Emmagrce, I think you are right about my blue splashed/streaked ones looing like your Indigo one. Does that one have a name? They are very much an Indigo blue color. A much darker color than the Akathoukinoumi they are growing with. I really like the Chocolate Plum one. Wonderful., unique color. Joseph, the photo you posted of your one with the dark star does look a lot like mine.

Susan

Janis, you did a great job of capturing that shimmer! Beautiful! Here is a photo of one I won on eBay and will plant next year: Chachamura or "Charming Brown." Sellers photo looked more chocolate brown. Anyone growing it this year?

Janis,
Your blooms are more beautiful each day. REALLY beautiful! Your Dark Purple that you haven't had an ID on is incredible - shimmer and all!
You should be very proud of all that you have achieved in only the first year. And, how blessed you are to receive only a small part of knowledge from all of the wonderful folks that share their information on these Threads.
I have learned a wealth of information myself. Also, remembering that all of their knowledge that is being shared was also once researched by each - *plus* the YEARS of growing these beauties that they learned themselves from that experience. I'll say it as you did ----- to Thank everyone, especially Ron, for being so 'giving' by sharing with us that are just beginning to learn.

Susan,
I haven't named all of the JMG variants that I've gotten - specifically. I usually just list them as either their color description, or what they remind me of at that moment. I have certainly had MANY incredible beauties over the last 2-years, that I have much research to do on to ascertain if they are in fact a 'cross'. Some probably are, but many will not be
[as Ron has educated me].
The 'Chocolate Plum' IS from one of my 'Plum Frost' seeds --- that has produced some of the most amazing colors and patterns that I've personally grown. The Indigo JMG is from a Tie Dye I. nil mutation [Seeds were From Japan]. I had vines last year that were 'Solid Indigo', 'Solid Indigo with White Edge', 'Indigo Tie Dye' and 'Indigo Streaked'.

Emma

Emma, you Chocolate Plum is gorgeous. Hope you get tons of seeds from that one. All of my mg vines are turning brown and dying from the heat, and so far I have gotten one seed. I want to cry.

Ron,
This vine is gone now that we were talking about -
Your note:
"That unusual Koukan bloom is very unusual because not only is it producing a lighter color,but seems to have the lighter color over a wider area of the flower than when the Koukan blooms are the usual color...most times a dilution will cover less area than the darker color that it is derived from...but,obviously there are exceptions...That lighter bloom reminds me of an oversized purpurea...are the sepals on that vine shorter than on most of your other nils..."
These were the last blooms - which I have tagged.

Gail,
Love your eensy-weensy Matsukaze -
and your 'Henka Blue' is GORGEOUS!
LOVE THAT COLOR!

Gail,
Here is my 'Purple Shibori NOT' -
This is not the same vine as this one 'Akathoukinoumi'
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=1703693

The Blue colors are the same, but the throat on this one is not as large as the 'Akathoukinoumi',
which I think we left it that still needed a name????

And, did we decide what this one is yet from the 'Purple Shibori NOT'????

Emma

Ron,
Another photo of the I. nil from Reunion Island 'maybe'. Remember that I could have gotten this one labeled wrong.
The leaf on the left side is another I. nil from Reunion Island that has not bloomed yet. The leaf on the Right belongs to this bloom

Another view

First bloom of 'Henka Blue Blizzard NOT'.
Ron, this is from seeds from Cat. She doesn't remember if they came from my 'Henkas', or where.
Leaves are Tri-Lobed and not variegated

Different bloom of 'Henka Blue Blizzard NOT'

Another view of 'Henka Blue Blizzard NOT'

Another from Large Flowered Mix From Japan that I need ID on.
This one is a Dark Purple-Plum Color

This one I definitely mis-labeled and don't know what it is.
Any ideas?

Matoukaze

Kyoko pink

Chocolate Silk HUGE blooms,
Still one of my very favorites

Cluster of blue dawn, one of my favorites.

Ronnie,
Absolute Beauties!
