2007 Morning Glory Project

The following pictures are from a Japanese morning glory Special Mix pack.

enjoy.

Dee

The flowers are all 5 inches wide.

Hi Dee,

We are happy to see you back here. Those flowers are very pretty. I was going to take some pictures of new blooms this morning from the special mix but the hard rain made it impossible.

Recently, I got a nice surprise from the special mix. It was a cute bright purple split petal. I`m delighted with this one. The leaves are shaped rounded at the edges and curved.

I look forward to your continued posting of updates!

Karen

Very nice flowers, it is going to be something in your part of the world when they all bloom.. with the amount you are growing you will be very busy taking photos, documenting etc.. we will all be waiting for pictures here.

Hey Karen and Gourd,

This is one of many that I'm watching mutate. It's Cha-Cha Maru going thru some type of mutation. Notice one of the top leaves is twistings and at the base of the plant the leaves are narrow and pointed. So far only two of the leaves appear normal. Also it's not growing vines like my other ChaCha Maru plants.

I have a few other strange mutations going on which I will post here later.

Dee

same plant. TTYL.

Dee

Konichiwa, and wish you guys well. I'm waiting to see what the blooms will look like on the one far right and some others. Hummm, I'll start posting pics when things start to slow down here.

later,

Dee

Looking forward to some pics...

This is one of several mutants that I have growing. A very interesting plant in itself. I am very happy with how this project turned out. We have collected over 800 pictures from various JMG and some new items from the first local MG festival a few weeks ago.

Answers to some of your old questions about JMG here have presented itself. There are many distinct differences in the Japanese morning glories that I'm aware of and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know.

The MG presentation we did at the local university went as expected.

I will post my work here when I have a secure way of doing it since copyright doesn't mean anything here on Daves. TTYL

Dee, Very Pretty Bloom....
Looking forward to seeing your awesome blooms,

Hi Emma,

IThis is an interesting plant and it's called "Changing Henka Asagao" It's started growing like a Kawaii plant but now it's growing vines. The strange flower is 3 inches.

Dee

This is one from a Japanese Special Mix pack. The flower looks like Yohjiro but the leaf pattern is different.

I'll d-mail you.

Dee

Thanks for sharing your interesting flowers, Dee. Looks like your season is playing out to be interesting! - Arlan

This JMG plant grows 4-5 inch deep red pentagon shaped flowers with variegated leaves and is from an asagao congo mix pack. TTYL

Dee

Arlan, no problem and looks like your season is interesting as well.

We had a few unknown items to pop up and lots of surprise ones too but I'm not complaining. The work is on going and we still have lots more to do. TTYL.

Dee

This is JMG Hanafubuki one of my favorites.

The vines will grow long and the leaves are different looking from other MG plants with simular flowers characteristics.

Hi Dee,
Great Vines going.
This one I really like
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3692453

On the Hawaiian Woodrose, you won't believe how large the leaves will get, and they feel like velvet.

I'm pretty sure that I also sent you Merremia Vitofolia seeds.

Thanks for sharing, now for some more of your incredible blooms.

Emma

Dee real beauties you have going so far!! Can't wait to see more!!

Hi Ronnie and thanks for the compliment. There are 1200 plus pictures that I'm going thru and editing them for later use but I will d-mail a link to you, Emma, Karen, Gourd and a few others for you guys to enjoy.

This is a mutant JMG that I'm growing in my home and in a basket. TTYL

Dee

We took a lot of natural shots and also use some creativity as shown in this picture.

Dee

This is B-34 mutant about a mounth ago. It's one of several rare plants that I'm growing. TTYL

Dee

These are all Kikyo Ten-Ten plants a month ago.

Dee

Hi Dee,

I`m very pleased with the mutant morning glories. My husband is getting bitten by the morning glory bug too. He came out and saw some of the mutants this morning and he is sold on growing these as a hobby. It is the best way to spend the summer I think.

Karen

Karen, thanks and yeah it`s a nice way to fill a void. The sun flowers seeds you sent me are growing tall.

Hey, we had a Bar-B-Q party this past sunday and I spiced up some chicken and seafood using the seasoning that you guys sent me a while back. We had a great time and our glories were frequently admired.

The mutant blooms should look like the one in this picture. So we`ll see. TTYL

Dee

This is JMG Akatsuki Mai. The flowers are large 6 inches with variegated leaves.

Dee

Lovely!

This JMG is a solid Purple Picotee or Platycodon type flower. It doesn't have white around the edges. The blooms are 3-4 inches and the leaves are solid dark green.

Dee

At the moment I'm not sure about this one but when I saw it growing with my picotee's I put a bamboo stick for it to grow on. The plant is about 7 feet tall and has large heart shaped leaves.
It may be Joyce Cobb but I'll check around and see.

Dee
