Beth, Yes it is, thank you. Do you see the yellow bars in some of my pics?
They appear a darker yellow. Just a heavier color saturation?
Maybe just my lack of expertise with the camera. LOL

I think that last photo was in focus for the leaves, but slightly out of focus for the flower. sometimes you have to choose if your depth of field is shallow. That's why the bars aren't very visible. Still a nice photo!

Beth, I may not ever get any better with a camera. I have enjoyed trying.
Just a basic course in photography would have helped me greatly.
After Christmas, I will at least read the manual. LOL

Howdy all again,

My ipomoea ochracea has been blooming since last month. It usually starts in the fall season around September/October but this year it took a little longer. I've been growing them for quite a few years now and they've never started blooming during the Spring season like other flowers...considered that equator idea and thought maybe after all this time they would have acclimated to our cycle here but so far they haven't. The vines range from one to 4 years old...and they literally will grow over everything...so it's understandable why they are considered invasive...but I like them and do keep them trimmed back to control their growth. I know they've already managed to hang over the neighbor's fence...but they haven't complained...so I haven't pulled them back over.

...and a reminder...they are profuse bloomers and seeders...so if anyone wants to trade for seeds...do let me know. I have some from May 2006 harvest and will trade for bulk seeds of butterfly friendly flowers like zinnias, mist flower, salvia, tithonia, phlox, flax, bee balm etc.

Sometimes plants may adapt to local conditions in a few generations or alot more than a few...

Cat,unless you are re-planting the first seeds to ripen from the latest crops to continueally start new plants ...the adaptation process will take alot longer...

TTY,...

Ron
