Morning Glories 2005 #23

is this ipomoea hederacea?
The blooms don't seem to open more than this

-Zem

another pic. (sorry about the slight blurryness, It's hard to get this up close)Flower is only about 2cm long from sepals to petal tips

Did Emma have to evacuate? Has anyone heard from her?

yeah, she did, good thing too!

Anyway, my heian no umi is really getting wierd. It's first blooms were fine, but now, every bloom is odd in some way. This is the latest and looks like it had a visit with Mr. Paper Shredder

this was going to be my white in my
red white and blue trellis
got blue all year and at last this (milky way )??

no red made it ,
awful year for starting these ,
no rain heat in upper 90°most of Summer .
Seed gathered for next year may hold surprises

Here is a Mai Sugata this am . .

Here's an odd one from a Chachamaru vine . .

Tazzy, that looks like one of the "flying saucers" types. neat, aren't they :)

-Zem

zemerson - the suspect I.hederacea is definitely I.hederacea...are you having temperature fluctuations where your Umi is getting what looks like 'bent' and tirn(?)...
I'll second that call of Flying Saucers on tazzy's I.tricolor...you seem to know your MG's ,especially for a person who has only been growing for a relatively short time...


Nicholejean - that looks alot more like Mai Sugata than the previous pictures you posted...the chocolate looking Chachamaru may be giving a clue to what types were used to create that one...

This Akathoukinounni has had extra flaps on it a number of blooms this summer, but this is the first one I have seen that looks like a double.

Here is the same bloom from the side.

Wow!! Awesome flowers today, tazzy I agree with the flying saucer, and I love the pink "split looking" one Zem, that color is so beautiful :)

lincolnitess I really love that color and the way it is doubling, it is just great!!

NicholeJean, beautiful as always. :)
ABOUT EMMA
I spoke to Emma earlier, they had power at the time, had lost if once and it came back on, They did not evacuate, her son and family are with her and her DH. When I spoke to her, she was doing pretty well, we talked for 10 or so minutes, she said from the way it looked on the radar, the eye was very close to them. I'll post updates as I get them

Hugs,
Janis

not a bunch from today but here are a few :)

Finally, this is a chocolate silk :)

this is the rose silk :)

dark flaked

light flaked

Fuji No Sora

Hot Flash

Regular hot pink

lavender double picotee

Milky Way and Grandpa Otts?

???? LOL who knows

and last but again not least Scarlet O'Hara

lincolnitess - tag that bloom(!)...

Hello all i have something to ask,... i have a JMG 'Akatsuki no Beni'
And it started out normal but has turned after 2 months of flowering proper to a flaked version have any of you had this happen to you ?
Thanks for any help you can give.
:}
rh

Lincolnitess, that bloom is awesome. Hope that vine makes oodles and oodles of seeds. lol

rh3708 - I have had Ipomoea nil reddish flowered types that were carrying blizzard genes.go' blizzaerk' on me after the first flushes of blooms...and some of the 4 different types of blizzards are known to show up as the plant is more mature...Do you have a picture that you could post(?)...

This is old whats his face ?
taking over the
castor bean plant
.Why can not the new Jap
ones be this healthy and grow
in full sun, sand ,no water
all year ?this vine has had all bad
stuff all year and look ?

This Mg started out years ago as, Star of Yelta
from parks seed Co.
Should I rename it ( Rough Stuff ) ?
I have found something i can't kill besides nut grass

Ron, thanks for the ID confirmation. I. hederacea grows wild around here, but mine seems slightly different then the wild plants. My version has pale blue flowers that don't open fully unless it is veery sunny. The rays on my version are pink. The wild ones have blue rays in addition to the flowers. Mine have slightly tripointed leaves and the wild versions have deeply trilobed leaves.

-Zem

PS: also have Ipomoea pandurata and Ipomoea lacunosa (little white starry flowers?) around here :)

I will try and get a picture of it in the morning.
I think it looks like this but in pink

zemerson - Can you post a picture showing more of the plant and leaves...often the flowers and leaves on some very young plants can look different than the look of the more matured plants...but the differences you mention can also be features on some mature plants of some different strains of Ipomoea hederacea...I have some of what you are describing around here...

rh3708 - The blue photo you posted has the distinctive look of the Ipomoea purpurea flaked strain...do the sepals on the ANU that you are refferring to have the sharp pointy nil looking sepal;s or the flatter less pointy sepals of the purpurea...the seedpods on purpureas reflex(bend towards the ground) and the seedpods of Ipomoea nil(like I.hederacea) remain pointed up towards the sky...What are the seedpods on your plant doing(?)...Post a photo if you are able to for everyones reference......

Here is a photo of Ipomoea setosa that I thought was nice...early morning ...clear sky...

Just a quick note before I FINALLY get to bed to let everyone know that we made it! We actually were very lucky that that MONSTER 'Rita' veered more to the east of us or we would have had higher winds than we did. ALL of my plants that were not staked are FLAT on the ground. Guess I'll get out there tomorrow and see what all I have left. Glad I moved my containers to my outside building or those would have for sure been gonners.

Thanks so much for thinking about me. Can't wait to look at all of the photos tomorrow, as we were without power off and on today. Mostly off!

Here is my son, Jim, and Max.....Max thinks he is a small pup.
Acutally he is a puppy, only 10-months old.
His other female puppy, Jazz, is a Fila Brazillian Mastiff directly From Brazil.
Forgot were Max is from, but I think Puerto Rico.

Can you believe this huge dog.
He is so mild mannered.

Here is a bloom that I may have posted before.
It is a new bloomer that I grew out this year from 2005 seeds from PF that grew back 'True'. This was taken at 1:00 am and it is still open and shimmering - it's in my outside building.

'Fuji No Ao'
at 1am that was open all day.
Neat Huh!

Great to hear everything is OK Emma!!! Beautiful dog. Gotta love the big ones!!!

Welcome back, Emma, glad you and your family are ok YAY!!

Joseph

Glad to hear all is safe with you and family Emma, sorry to hear about some things being flattened :(
