Morning Glories 2007 # 08

OK, here is a new thread ready to capture the new pictures. Here is The biggest flower I have seen in my garden so far. This is from a Akatsuki Mix I received from MGJ in the seeds for seasonings exchange.

It won`t let me edit so here is the link to go back to morning glories # 07

Karen, that's gorgeous and there's a lot of it to love. How big is it?

My first Rosita opened today. It's not a large flower, about 3 1/2 inches across.The same size and the same # of spokes as my blue Mt Fuji.

Nice blooms!

patootie - I love your little Rosita MG bloom! Very pretty indeed! :-)

Thanx Becky.

Karen, does that huge flower have one of those reverse tubes? It is a fantastic flower wow!

Patootie, I really like that perfect spoke flower of Rosita. It's amazing how straight the lines are of the white parts of that flower.

Joseph

Love the Rosita Jackie!! Looking forward to mine!!

Thanks Joseph and Ronnie.

Karen, that flower is gorgeous..


Jackie, I can hardly wait to see my Rosita also.. I like the lines on yours.

This is JMG Yohjiro Yaguruma and Chachamaru.

This is JMG Raiko from a Japanese pack. The purple color is stunning in person.

This is one of several rare JMG mutants that I`m growing. This one is called Ishidatani and grows like a ribbon.

This is some type of strange MG that has been blooming for me. I almost looks like it is trying to be a ribbon, but not quite. The petals are formed strange.

The seeds I purchased as Sydney are blooming profusely.

Up close

And the old standard Milky Way is also enthusiastic.

A, I'm hoping for a bloom on Rosita that looks like the one pictured at
seedman.com. It probably won't happen. I have 3 Rosita's and one of
them had foliage that was different from the other 2 early on. Now it looks more
like the other 2. Hoping it will produce a different bloom.

Dee love your pics, especially the Raiko and the mutant ribbon bloom

Jackie

Nice blooms Beth. Wish I had started a Milky Way

Had a good morning!

Sydney, crazy bloomer!

I think this is a VH

Another Akatsuki Umi

Patootie,

I grew out some open pollinated yagurumas and also some that were hand pollinated. The open pollinated ones produed a few blue spoked flowers and the hand pollinated one produced a vine looking just like the parent plant yaguruma.

The large flowered one I put up was about 6-7 in My palm is 3 in so you can sort of compare. Karen

I'm glad my Sydney looks like your Sydney, Giddymoon. I have gotten so many misidentified seeds lately I am naturally suspicious!

I bought a lot of seeds that aren`t what they were supposed to be. They were obviously open pollinated or the seller gave me the wrong seeds. For the most part 98 % of sellers on ebay have got it together. If they tell you they are open pollinated then you know they might not come out exactly like the picture. Some sellers have so many home grown nils and other types of morning glories for sale that I seriously doubt they are hand tied pods unless they have 100s of little elves running around bagging and tying blooms.

That is another reason I`m bagging or tying my blooms this year. That is the only way to help ensure my own seeds I save for myself will come out right.

Here is a result of F2 grow out of a Fuji x ukigumo cross. I got three different looks. This is the "I don`t have anywhere else to put them" method of growing JMGs. I did Not arrange them this way. It is so neat to see how these flowers can arrange themselves for you just to get their picture made in the morning.

Love that grouping! I find that if I grow vines on the ground our Oregon slugs make a feast of them.

I don`t normally grow them this way but thought it was funny that these flowers were not going to wait for me to fix up their spot. They bloomed very quickly and I suspect maybe because they were started later than the others.

Oh yes, the huge flower in the first post has a normal tube. The pistil and anthers do have a thickness at the base but it isn`t reversing. Karen

Beth, love that cartoon! What a riot!

I love seeing what will happen. It is like xmas....love it.

These are some from this week and last week... haven't had a chance to post them .

This one should be called Dracula... it is Komeri Picotee Mix, but the colors remind me of Dracula's face and eyes.. I love it. It looks just like this in person.

Dracula reaches the edge of the envelope of grooviness, Antoinette! Wow!!
