Well I untangled another one a few weeks ago and put it up on my porch. I wasent able to untangle the whole MG but it has grown a lot and put out new buds.The flowers has gotten darker and I have started to fertilize it since the new growth steals from the old leaves.

Sunrise Serenade

The whole thing

This one is driving me nuts...........I havent got the foggiest what I planted. (forgot to tag it) I just remember that I said to my self when I planted it. OH I must plant one of these big seeds too.
It is fuzzy all over even on the leaves.
Janett

About three weeks ago I got a bud starting to open and I was HAPPY..........finally I am going to see what it is......... Nopp it partially opened and then just croaked and got slimy

One of the leaves

And another with different shape. Oh and even if the bud looks pinkish......... it is spots.
Janett

Nice leaves Janett!! I hope that I will have flower pictures soon. I have had Berry Ice and Mount Fuji flower up for me so far, but no photogenic blooms yet.

Here is Hewittia malabarica, first flowers today!

Lovely pale yellow color, I think it may last longer than one day.

Sepals of Hewittia malabarica.

Flowers are about 2 inches in diameter. Very nice.

Here is a bud that will open tomorrow or next day.

Here's Mount Fuji or a variant of it, can't remember the cultivar name for certain.

Here is Ipomoea albivenia, no flower buds yet. Note the thickened stem at ground level!

Joseph, Love the Hewittia.

Jackie

Gerris, I have always been fascinated by shapes and forms that show up again and again among different plant families and genera (there's even an African insect that clusters in a formation that looks like a flower!).

People ask me how I remember the names of plants - well the pony tail plant was what my office gave me while I recuperated from breaking my leg while running to pounce on a phone. Who could forget the word "caudiciform" after that? See http://davesgarden.com/terms/go/2912.html

Welp, your Ipomoea albivenia's swollen stem inspired me to google:
caudiciform + pelargonium
and I got: http://www.bihrmann.com/caudiciforms/subs/pel-tri-sub.asp

That page has a gorgeous photo of the South African habitat where a caudiciform pelargonium came from. I thought that would be fun, before you click on the tab at the top of that webpage for the genus ipomoea - yup - lots of other caudiciform ipomoea in there that are also from South Africa, as is I. albivenia.

Fascinating web site, bluespiral, thanks for the link!

More new blooms. These are Dianagon.

Another delicate looking pink with white rays and sprinkly snow like blizzard markings. I loved this one. It came in a large flowered mix.

WOW
Sorry Joseph that I havent answered you posts, I thought I did but it has been a little wacky around here. Your Hewittia is gorgeous and a lot bigger then I tought.
Your albivenia looks like MANY of my MG:s. I have a "few" more leaves on mine and no buds yet :((

bluespiral, THANKS for the site. Wonderfull pictures in there.

Gardener, that picture.........It looks unreal, but so beautiful. VERY sharp colours.
Janett

Here are some pretty pink ones in the monster vine that is headed to the roof on our back porch.

Janett,I think that is why I love the JMGs. They don`t look real!

I like seeing the pictures of all varieties. The Hewittia is very neat!

Really enjoying everyone's pics. I don't fertilize mine, and was late direct sowing this year. Even in the heat, I'm still getting some blooms. This little pretty is from seed I acquired in a swap. They had it labeled Emma's Gift.

Here is another one. I wonder what this is. It is a large picot edge and nice eye catching purple. The first picture is washed out by sun and the second one I used my hand to block out some of the sun. The leaves are dragonfly shape and variegated.

Another to show how rich the purple realy is. I like the white edges too.

OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE THAT is one beautiful MG.
The earlier posted pictures are also beauties.
AuntiB, isnt Emmas MG:S yummi
Janett

I have been wondering about Emmas flower the white/purple flecked one before mine. What kind is it? I have to get off the pc. Thanks in advance for any comments!!! Have a great day Janett!! :)

The seed packet said "Red Star", not red red, but still pretty.

Just learning how to use my new digital. This is a Sunrise Mix glory that
turned out to be a lovely fuchsia color. Brought it in to take the pic.

ooooo and variegated leaves too! PRETTY

I love the rich colors and the leaves are beautiful!

Thank you so much. Since taking this pic just 4 days ago, a horrible pest
is attacking the lvs on all my glorys. What I would give for some Bonide.

Jackie

Bugs just got done with one of mine too. I treated it and it is growing the leaves back. It is good these are tough vines.

I just got done with more pics and thought I`d throw some more up here.

And this is the biggest JMG I have ever seen. Heian No Akathuki.

Two together. Enjoy...have a great evening.

That Was some big flowers LOL. I meant to post the smaller one. Is is possible to edit pictures if you ever send the wrong one?

Those look like satin, very pretty.

Jackie

Thanks! I have really enjoyed all the pictures and wish there were more!!!

All my vines are flowering up for the most part, but haven't had a good flower on each one to take a picture. There is lots of time to get just the right one...it's so awesome to see them in real life.
