ID me please

Hi can anyone id this one for me?
Also tell me does it need hand pollinating or will the seed come true next year?
Thanks
Mike

Looks like Pink Rambler to me. It will self pollinate.

hi mike
sure like this one !

pamsue

Funny thing is i have a list of all the seeds people sent me and i don't think pink rambler was one of them... but i figured that might be the case so as they flower i'll ask for them to be ID'd. That way i'll know who is who!

Mike

Did you grow any Crimson Rambler? Pink Rambler is just a dilute Crimson Rambler. Or maybe it came in a mix.

Hi Beth,
This is the list i grew this year. Stupidly i numbered some of the ones i grew but that doesnt make sense now so ignore the numbers.
Most of these are from trades. So never sure what they may have breed with or what.

I don't see pink rambler in your list, but the purpureas are notorious for easily cross pollinating. Here 's the plantfile link:

With all the rain.. Noah would be good! lol

LOL, we are getting 100 degree heat

Now thats just teasing!
Check out this thread... Its suprising my mg's aren't aquatic plants

I got blooms that Ron said resembled Crimson Rambler from a packet of commercial Scarlett O'Hara seeds. Definitely not a mix up on my part; I hadn't bought any Crimson Rambler...

Joanne

I guess I should send you some Ipomoea aquatica seeds, Mike!

Mike - The photo you posted here
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3720171
looks like one of the lighter un-named lavender purpureas...

TTY,...

Ron

Un named.... ah poor fella.... i shall name him Fred then! lol
So thats still not one of the ones i listed.

So how do you guys that grow lots of different ones make sure you get the right seed next year?

Mike

I hand pollinate and tie or bag the blooms.

So if someone has hundreds of seeds their either very commited or not doing that!

No, actually you can grow just one variety in one part of your land and be 99% sure they will come true. I have ten acres and can seperate the varieties by a good distance. The seeds I keep are the ones I bag or are isolated. The others just all go in a coffee can. I don't know why I even save them.

Mike - Different species won't cross fertilize...

Ron

Sorry i kind of meant lots of varieties of purpurea all from there own garden..

Anyway i'm guessing by growing all the ones i listed in my back yard i am going to have to start hand pollinating!

Don't panic Ron your plants are no where near all these others!

Wow cheers Ron.
Your plants have just had there tips removed... i am having trouble slowing there growth! There hitting the ceiling now. lol
Took a few cuttings while i was at it mainly just for trial purposes.

Thanks for the list

Its strange i know loads about other plants as i deal all day with them and advise customers. But when it comes to mg i'm such a newby! One day...

Mike

What about this fella?
Its a tiny little cutie... im guessing the Ipomoea sloteri.

Any ideas?

Mike

Here is the plant next to it. I figure its the same but has a better flower shape.

Mike, Could that be Caprice?? I thought it was white with a pink star, but can't find a good picture when I searched.

Deb

Mike - The little orange one is most likely Ipomoea coccinea or possibly Ipomoea hederifolia...let's see what the seedpod pedicel does...

TTY,...

Ron

I'll keep you posted.
Notice none of these look very healthy due to the cold weather this year!

Mike
