Janet,

Here is a pic of one of my "Chocolate" mgs. Mine are much lighter, but they grow in full sun facing south.

Hey Janett,
Lookie what I found!

Wonder if T&M knows about this *-*

Emma

hehe, that pic shure gets around alot.and hey they also says its HUGE.
Can just say LOVE every picture.
found this on the puter when I was looking for a photo. this one I took with my DD webcam to show the animalshelter in Lanzarote where Taysons home is now. its very gray because its early spring and nothing have started to grow. This road that we walk on goes around half the property. Dont now how this collage will end up at DG but I hope it works. sorry for the spelling but I did this in a hurry.
Janett

Janette, those pics are great! How did I miss that is is your dog that is named Tayson? What does Tayson mean? I would love to have that much land to wander over.

mg

dont know if it got any meaning. He is a spanish dog. He is a cross between Rottweiler and the Canary breed Perro Presa de Canario. or as you say canarydog/ dogo canario
The number after my nick WAS his weight in kilos LOL now it would say 90 thats about 220lbs. I think they gave him that name because he was so big and distorted the boxer Mike Tysons name
isnt it great to have ALL that land to "play" with even if I dont own it . That "road" we are walking on just goes around on half of it. Winter time I have oceanview LOVE IT
Janett

Janett, Bravoooo, ......your place is just awsome, I love it and the view is "To Die For".............lol....oh my goodness how wonderful it is.
I know next year it will be teaming with all kinds of flowers
thanks for sharing the photos and I hope to see more of them in the future.

Hi Janet,
OMG, you property is unbelievable.
What I would give for BUNCHES of acreage to 'play with'.

Emma

I spent my formative years in northern Wisconsin, your great pictures, Janett, brought back memories. Thanks for sharing them.

This chocolate is from last year. All it said on the package is "Chocolate". It did bloom quite a bit. This year, nothing.

This is one in the sunlight, again from last year.

WOW Gourd .is that 4 inches? thats 10 cm. Is that colour for real. so different
Did you plant from seed taken from this one or did you buy new ones.
Janett

Antoinette,
Your Chocolate is VERY PRETTY!

Hey!
Anyone notice that our Morning Glory 2005 Thread has seemed to move to Janett's Thread....lol
Love it!

The Color is like a chocolate mauve, I planted from seed taken from the first photo, the only difference is that last years was in dappled shade. This year it was in full sun most of the day.

I still have a few seeds left from the original package, so I will try again next spring.

Thanks Emma.

i love the color it's soooo pretty,... nice picture Antoinette.
did the color change much from when you had it in shade or is it the same color in full sun?

Memory are good but short hey, more than ones :P
Sorry Emma. for the highjacking. Maybe tomorrow I get some pics, not of MG but of the Petunias I manage to save out of the gravel. they didnt get big, but we, DD and I made a small emergensie flowerbed for them so we could get seed.promiss to post them in the other tread.

rh, the color stayed the same, but the plant itself looked pitiful, they almost all did this year. Don't know if it was the potting soil I used or what exactly.

I've grown the Chocolate MG sold by T&M (several years ago). It didn' produce the coloring as in the catalog photo...I'm guessing its one of those "retouched" photos that are suppose to lure us into buying it! I had a photo or two of mine, but they're on my hard drive from my computer that crashed. Someday if someone can tell me how to transfer all the stored photos onto the hard drive of my new computer I'll be able to post the pic!

Sandy

Seedsower sorry to hear about your photos. thats why I always(now) make copies of the photos/pictures on to cd:s. I also have two harddrives on the computer. I use the slave for storage.they seldom crash as the C: does. But I have always built mine myself exept my sons first puter. Cant you get someone to trancfer the diskslide from that HD in to another HD and get those pictures out. may cost some to do it. If it was "chip" electronic crash it can work but not if it was program/klustercrash.
Janett

Thanks Gourd,
I think i will try a few in the shade to see what happens.
