Last years beauties

I. cairica

don't know if this will come back this year..

I. indica "Blue Dawn" showing off..

left this one behind... but... brought some seeds with me.

I. purpurea "Rebecca"


did not plant any mgs in 2006, most reseeded or are perennials.

this one reseeded and was supposed to be Joyce Cobb, but seems there are two different ones there.

Gourd, cairica is a beautiful color. Love it.

Jackie

Thank you...

i posted it on beth's post.. after spraying them all with messenger, they bloomed..lol

Antoinette, Now that I've taken a 2nd look, I see they're all gorgeous.

Jackie

Great pix Gourd. Really makes you love the species with a lobed calyx. Good luck with them this year.
Frank

I love the cairica!!

Hi Gourd,
I was looking at some of your threads. I was wanting to know where you got your grow light setup. That is really cool. Now that I have electricity in my cottage out back I want to start some seeds now that I have room to do it in. So would you please let me know? Oh and some of your MG's are coming up in pots around in my yard. Do you know of any spacific ones? I will take pictures when they bloom. And your freezia's are blooming also. They remind me of my good plant friend that moved away. ha ha

P. S. That is my Cottage

I've really enjoyed your MG's, thanks for sharing :-) I esp. enjoyed the I. cairica, I hope it comes back for you!

Luvsgrtdanes, thank you...

Norma, missy, where have you been?????? you will have to post the MGs when they bloom... hahahaha... who knows what I left behind in those pots. My dear friend, I miss you too. Some of those MGs are perrenials, so watch out.. you did a fantastic job on that cottage. Email me.



Lebug, thank you, I hope it comes back too.

I'll have to start over with seeds.

this is an Alamo vine seed pod, that seemed to take forever to dry


The metal carts I got at Costco a couple of years ago, and the lights are shoplights from Home Depot and Lowes. They also sell these carts at Sams and I think I saw some at Lowes too. Get the ones with wheels cuz you can put them outside to get air during the day and especially there in Southern Ca... ooooh, I miss that weather.. you lucky you..

I have a cart like that. I can use that and attach lights to it. But where did you get the domes. Sometimes I use the plastic containers with lids from cookies and stuff. And they really work good.
And it was good hearing from you again. I miss you being out here. Even though we didn't talk that much, I still knew you were there. But I will probably talk to you more here. lol
I got MG seeds off Ebay and can't wait to get them. I love the chocolate ones. They are sooooooo pretty. But I love all the new plants you have going. Wish I could get them going as well as you do. I bought a bunch of Amaryllis and am growing them. I love them. Anyway, will talk to you soon.

Norma

The domes are not too far from you, At Discount-Hydro.com go down Vanburen, to Magnolia St. (go past Lowes) to Hole Street at the next light past Lowes, turn to the right, down about 3 miles if that, could be a little more, on Heir Street turn to the right about half a block, on the right is this little place that looks like it is in the middle of nowhere.. that's it. At the time I got them they were like six dollars, don't know how much they are now. Make sure you don't get the ones in the bottom or the very top ones, they seem to be crooked..

I don't know if I did the link right, but here is there phone number in case you cannot find them.. their street is easy to miss, although you may already be familiar with that area.

Sure wish you had liked MGs when I was there..

Mor more more more, Frank

Blue Star for Frank..

Hi Donna, yes I'm gonna miss it.. maybe i can get a seed going.

This one was labeled Caprice.. dont' know if it is accurate..

Akatsuki no Tiuyu first bloom, dont' know what happened there.. but I think I only got one seed that year..

Akatsuki murasaki first bloom... also never got seeds..

This was supposed to be double bud from China, but ... now I don't know if I got seeds for this one.. did not have a good year...that year.. Does anyone know what this is called??

Double bud from China.. I'm sure I called it that because I did not know what to call it.

2nd photo of above.. now, it looks like Hige (feathered) to me.

This was labeled Purple Fantasy from Ebay.. it had one small flower, alot of trouble opening up. Anyone recognize this?

Hattie Bell

Gray Lady... anyone know if this goes by any other name?

Heian no Izumi, all of the JMGs are from the co-op in 2004

Heian no Kagayaki with stripes..

Heian no Yosooi

None of the JMGs produced seeds for me that year.. but,,,, I have a plan this year..lol

Seeds for this were from China, no name, good prolific bloomer.. I called it "Pink Satin" because that is what it reminded me of..

Surprise Rose Silk in the Park's Tie Dye packet..

Tie Dye Pink..

Mt. Fuji from Park's pack

Now this white MG was in the plant with Pink Satin, it looks like a white version of it.. also, I think I got both black seeds and white seeds from that plant..

Red Picotee, that was about the only bloom I got on that plant..

Nice small blue flower from China.. don't know which one.

Tie Dye Pink with ruffles (from Parks)

Species Ethiopia from JLHudson pack

Flying Saucer mutation of sorts.

More gorgeous beauties, Antoinette! Luv them all.
