Ron,
Those pink flowers are from the same vine, right next to eachother. I have an entire vine that is doing that, and bagged some up last night for hand pollination today. I am taking a break from outside right now, it is just so hot today, and I definately have bronchitis :(

I just DMailed you Ron.....

Emma - This one

is probably the Chiaki,(by the type of blue that it is showing) and that is darkening somewhat at the throat...as compared to this picture
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=1749386
which does not show the 'discoloration...
This picture of Josephs darker blue characteristic of the Mai Sugata which was also showing some color 'variegation' in the bloom
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=1707395
Then Joseph had posted later on that the bloom color had settled in,and become more uniform,as pictured here
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=1726008


So,to answer your question"Is it normal" for these type blooms to display that color 'variegation;I would say it is not too uncommon,and actually I happen to like the color being somewhat 'variegated',even though the 'correct' color should be more solid like the later blooms that Joseph's plant(s) produced...

You guys, I don't have anything compelling here, but, here is what I got today.

Emma, thanks for the compliments, and I will certainly put some of those seeds in your stash here. I also already got (only four so far, seeds for Andersonii)...

Ron, took more photos today.. here goes..

Muellerii seed pod..

Muelleri again.. one inch in size

Flying Saucer, boy what a difference in the weather change here, they look ALIVE..

magnuisiana

hopefully you can see more details in this photo.. I am getting better with my camera..

Fuji Finepix (same as yours Janis) if you have any tips, please, please, give them to me..lolol.

Anyone growing this one, have only photo of leaves, lost the tag.

Ron: Here is a photo of the back of the leaf. Hope you can help with I D. I can also send you a list of the MGs that I originally had and maybe we can pick one from there by elimination..

finally got a good photo of

Species China





looks alot like mini sky blue though.. will post a photo of that next

Mini Sky Blue...

This one has not bloomed yet, anyone have flowers on this one?


Species Ethopia

Ok, here are some blooms today.

I'm geting bronchitis, not pneumonia as stated in another thread, it does happen to me every year, and sometimes it does turn into pneumonia, but lets all keep our fingers crossed. :)

Ok, blooms :) Here is my blue star JMG

Janis

Blue Double Picotee. Have a more purple lavender lok to them, but I love them

Pink Picotee, first bloom

Early call Blue. The throat is not yellow, just a trick of the light

Fuji No Sora

Light Pink Star

Pink Mt Fuji

Purple JMG

Blue and Purple Flaked

Does anyone else see the fuschia on the star? Looks like it might be trying to revert back to a parent to me, whatcha think Ron?

Another Flaked

Ron, here are some more of the pinks with the white extending out of the throat. 4 pics in all

2

Inserting the pic helps

Number 3

last of the hot pinks

My absolute favorite today..... Emma, this bloom is marked already LOL

First glance, it was just a regular purple purpurea, but look closer.... its got markings in it, like a flaked, but the main color is the purple. Strange isn't it?

Janis

Janis,
lol - good girl!

This is a True Beauty. Love the colors.

Here is first bloom -
seeds are FROM FRANCE.
Seed packet is labeled
'Franchi Sementi' [DAL 1783] Ipomoea multicolor,
which of course is I. purpurea.
Not a great photo. I'll have more blooms of this one later.
Also, from the same packet is an AWESOME Pink that you will be interested in Janis.
I'll post it on the new Thread.
Boy, or we going through the Threads.
So many gorgeous MG's.
Emma

Time for new Thread

ROFL guess you didn't forget!

Gourd - Nice(!) shot of the Ipomoea muelleri seedpods(!)...You are right,you are getting better with the closeups...Now(!?),if you could get a closeup(!) sideview of the I.magnusiana and the I.muelleri clearly showing the sepals at the base of the flowers...
The mystery plant leaves 'ID' that you posted is not coming to me automatically...although I do get the impression that it is a perennial and produces a caudex...Send me the list of what you should have growing and I'll see what I can do...
I would bet that the small blue one from China is an Ipomoea hederacea...closeup of the sepals please for positive confirmation...
It's good to have a photo posted of plant leaves,if there are no flowers and I don't know anybody who has gotten blooms from that species from Ethiopia yet...it may need to mature and I suspect that it probably is a perennial...

Janis - The pictures of the pink ones with the white throats don't seem to have as large a white area as the one that you had posted previously...maybe it varies considerably...they still look nice...
The 1st flaked one that looks like it is reverting,I think is just showing more color...the 2nd one that you posted of the 'almost regular' purp is definitely carrying the flaked gene,but is showing alot(!) more color than usual...put a few of those aside for me...

I'm off to the next thread...

Comment on this thread: those pinks with the white extending out of the throat have a very pretty pinwheel symmetry. Usually the creases in (e.g.) a five-sided morning glory flower are nearly mirror planes -- that is, the flower has the symmetry of a five-sided cone. The white swirl pattern breaks the symmetry at the creases and gives the flower a clockwise or counterclockwise twist.

If the flower were a molecule, the technical terms would be C5v and C5. I'll trade anyone for the correct botanical term for what I've been calling "creases" in the flower!
