Wanted Mt. Fuji Seeds

Does anyone have a few of these to share? Let me know what you would like in return.

Makshi, this isn't much, but I received 4 seeds of pink Mt. Fuji in trade and I've been looking for a home for them. Would you like to have them? I don't need anything for them - a self-addressed envie would be fine. The post office charges 52 cents for envies that have to be hand-stamped that would otherwise be 39 cents.

I'll tuck in a few other MGs with them.

That would be great. I won't be able to get it out until next week. Would that be okay?

Thanks
Diane

Well, I could say that for every day you make me wait for that envie, you have to give me a poem about morning glories - LOL But I'll behave myself. Any time is fine, Makshi.

Might anyone, now that we're on the subject, have any morning glory poems or toothsome remarks on the subject while we combat cabin fever until we can plant MGs outside?

bluespiral, here's something for you!

Well, thank you - both of you. Those poems made me feel like I could almost open the back door and see a morning glory open - Not! - but the thought of a morning glory opening in all this slushy sleet makes me wonder about members of the morning glory that are closest to the north pole or south pole. Ron, do you know which ones might fall in that category? Any interesting tidbits about their closest-to-the-pole distinction?

The reason I ask is that I read something many years ago about the genus Rosa that said chromosomes of rose species doubled going from either the north pole to the equator or from the equator to the north pole (can't remember which).

Are their any corresponding phenomena among morning glories? Any idea why this might be true of roses?

PS - to those like me who are rusty on what little biology they might have acquired back when morning glories were just a gleam in the eye of some denizen of the primordial soup, here's a great dictionary - I've got it "turned" to the "page" for chromosome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome

Karen - the really cold zones usually have MG's with relatively small flowers...that's about it...

Just out of curiosity, do you know which MG species grew most northerly in its original habitat? Do they go as far up as the sub-arctic circle?

Some of the Calystegia and Convolvulus species are the most cold hardy that I'm aware of...they grow in Alaska and Kamchatka...doubt that they grow in areas permanently covered by glaciers...but with the confirmed global warming...there may not be any permanent glaciers anymore...or people to be 'concerned' about it...

TTY,...

Ron

I wish they hadn't closed the EPA library

I have some Mt. Fuji seeds.
