Japanese Morning Glories in rain

Went out today to snap pictures, found lots of raindrops...........

Fujishibouri - such beautiful colors on this one :)

up close

Emmas Silky Blue, I do NOT think these are same as Akathukinoumi Emma, next I will show photo of it.
for now though, Silky Blue in rain

Akathukinoumi for you to see difference Emma

WOW they look so much alike on here!!! Here in person the Akathukinoumi is much darker, and far more frillier around edges :( But anything is possible!!!

Here is Akatsuki no Tsuyu today in rain.............

and for you Ron looking at the differences in Aktasuki no Tsuyu and Blue Silk, I notice that the Tsuyu is much more frillier here but that is only diff.

here is Blue silk in rain..............not as frilly as the Tsuyu at least to my eyes.

Tobihino in the rain

Murasaki a little less color from all the rain, but still striking

raindrops on Berry Ice

beautiful Laurrie, I love the first one.

Love your Fujishibouri Laurrie, that's what mine was suppose to look like.

Oh well....

INCREDIBLE!

Love them, Laurrie, especiall the blues.

WOW! Fujishibouri is absolutely unique and beautiful. Barb

quite stunning weren't they even in spite of the rain!! Perhaps tomorrow morning's rounds will provide better "camera" material.

Thanks everyone!

Seedsower, what did yours turn out to be? photo?

Laurrie

Hi Laurrie - The "ANT" does look to be more ruffled and a bit darker colored in the pictures you posted here...I have had very similar color variances in both the Blue Silk and "ANT",although the "ANT" may turn out to have a higher tendency to the ruffling...this aspect may be relative to the particular batch that the plants are from...The "ANT" in your picture seems to have the white a bit more circumscribed to the throat area and not expanfding out along into the folds...let's see if that aspect seems to have any consistent tendency...
The pictures look good even for being rain soaked(!)...nice shot's...looking forward to seeing some more...

Such a treat for the eyes!

Joseph

Thanks Ron and Joseph, I will keep taking more photos for comparison, unfortunately todays shots were too nasty, that darn rain!!! LOL

Those are all gorgeous, Laurie! The rain drops seems to magnify the different colors more. I bought a few seeds from some on ebay the same as your Fujishibouri. They were kind of steep but I loved the color.
:) Donna

Donna, yes the rain added highlights to them :)
I hate to think what they will look like tomorrow, rain here now for 2 days and expect more tomorrow :(

some sure do go high on ebay, I did some selling last fall but I didn't have any of those last year for sale, I think the new ones or more rare sure do go high!!

Are yours growing well the Fujishibouri??? any photos??? I just love the colors on them myself

Laurrie

Nope, I just got the seeds this week. To late to plant them for this year...lol.
:) Donna

OH, sorry I thought you had gotten them earlier spring. well hope they do well for you next year!!!
Meanwhile, just drool over all them that are posting the pictures this year and it will remind you to be sure and plant them come spring :)

I'm constantly drooling over everyone elses pictures....you should know. I have enough drool here that I could cause a typhoon....lol.
:) Donna

well Donna you better put on the drool bucket!!!!!

Noooooooooooo, I can't handle anymore!!!!!
;) Donna

Invest in the Kleenex corporation LOL.

I have some fuji shibori that were sprouted two weeks ago...I plan on getting flowers...and seeds if I can help it...

You're sure not a big help, Joseph!
;p Donna

still getting all wet.........

lavender silk looking a little pink :)

Oh sure, keep teasing me....lol.
:) Donna

LOL I didn't get any shots today too much rain, were oodles of blooms on all my vines but they were swaying in the breeze.......

Yep....they're waving their noses at me....lol.
:) Donna

shame on them!!! I did just go out and found my Wedding Bells showing off, didn't even know it was ready!!

Hi Laurrie....

I just found your question regarding what my Fujishibouri turned out to be. I'm getting several variations on the same vine, here is one of them.

Sandy

WOW Sandy, NOT fujishibouri, but a beauty none the less!! Love the star pattern inside, it sortof reminds me of one variation of Plum Frost (with star) that is growing for me :) see bloom in left of photo?

Gorgeous bloom, Sandy!
