Rose vs. Chocolate

I just wish I knew which seed source it came from. You can tell from the surface of the seed that it was one of those "factory prepared" ones.

Same Bloom Close Up
It's worth it!

Unusual Light and Rose Silk Tie Dye
Surperb!

MY BEAUTY.....
I 'think' this is the one that won First Place Morning Glory Photos last year
I'll need to go look to be sure

Another Unusual

Dark Chocolate or Dark Lighting?

Now for the REALLY Unusual and BEAUTIFUL Tie Dye Blooms

Close Up

Tie Dye Looks to have Orange Tones

Another Shot

Closer

...And Closer

And if all of this isn't confusing enough....
Here is Yuuzuki Japanese Morning Glory

Another Yuuzuki

Now, I have a few of my 'Variants' to go find that are just as beautiful and they didn't even come from Rose Silks.

Emma

A Dusty Pale Pink that I named 'Mauve Blush'
This came from my [of all things] Plum Frost Blooms

Another of 'Mauve Blush'

One more that may even be getting off the subject, but this bloom has the same color pattern as some that I've posted above. This particular Blooms came from my 'Henka Blue Type' that has thrown so many colors, patterns and variations.
A 'Light Dusty Pink and Cream' Tie Dye

Same Vine with more of a solid color and a margined picotee edge.

One more from same vine

And another that is a Nice Tie-Dye

You can almost see the solid green Tri-Lobed Leaves here

What a fantastic display, Emma! Wow! I really liked this one with the rays...out of this world!

Joseph

Thanks Joseph,
They really did put on quite a show for me.

Emma

Emma did you see the pic of my Rose Silk i think i got the seeds from you all so some of the flowers that are on the same plant look like Yuuzuki

here they are

Those are nice phicks,
Looks like you are headed for some great color combos too.
I like them ALL.

Emma

Outstanding thread - thank you for starting it QueenB.

As always, love your pics, Emma. The one that Joseph liked resembles the flowers that came from the vines from your seed - just staggering. I sent you a dmail with just one little question.

Karen,
As you can now see, I am finally able to get back with my friends so I will be writing you tomorrow.
I'm getting lots of things accomplished now finally.
Talk to you soon.

Emma

Emma, did your Lavender Streaks happen to come from that batch? (Don't mean to get off topic here...) Here's an example of how mine grew out this summer:

Stacey, Yes, I believe so. I have gotten so many different colors and patterns from my 'Henka Blue-Type'. It still amazes me how many that have come from that one single seed.
Here are a couple that are 'close' to your colors, but I'd need to go back to 2005 photos and can show you some that are almost an exact match.

This one is a little more close to your blooms, but the color is not the same

A little closer color

This is close to your other one

Emma, Just incredible blooms. This one blew me away.

Hi Jackie,
Isn't that one incredible.

I haven't even grown them out yet since they have first bloomed. Maybe a couple this year to see what they do.

Emma

Ron, I still haven't found my AWESOME 2003 Photos yet, but I'm still looking.
These blooms would be the PERFECT examples to compare Rose Silk vs. Chocolate Silk as that year they were all 'normal' before they started throwing all of my unusual awesome Tie Dyes and others.

Emma

Emma - Thanks for sharing the photos of your chocolates,roses and related colors...

Looks like there's some variations of the main basic colors,rayed and blizzard patterns,margined edges along with some leaf shape variations and variegation...

one that I particularly like...darker rays along both the primary and secondary folds contrasted by the more dilute coloration along with the white margin and scalloped edge...

Nice contrast and with 6 primary ribs...

I'm going to be pondering all of the types posted in addition to checking out any others that come along...

great stuff...

TTY,...

Ron

Wow, I love this one!

Thanks for all of your input Ron, along with THE way to describe the blooms.
I will keep looking for my 2003 photos because they will be great for comparisons.

Stacey the Bloom that you like
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3066948

have 'almost' Rayed-type blooms on most, very much like the two you grew this year.
I'll send you some other photos separately along with seeds if you like.
I'm curious what they do this year when grown out again.
And, the color is very unusual.

Emma
