Morning Glories 2007 # 10

Hmmm,
My others didn't post

Here is another

And one more

Gourd - Your Pink Tie Dye had the same shimmer as my first two blooms on the Pink Porcelain: http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3560297

What causes that shimmer on the blooms? All the other blooms on my vine after the second one were more of a flat color.

Good question Becky,
I've noticed the same on some of mine -

Like this one

Here is one that grew back True that was a new MG from last year. . .
PLUM SHADOWS [another sport of Plum Frost]

The 'shimmer' is mostly the result of reflective particles in the blooms...sometimes they will only 'shimmer' if viewed or photographed from a certain angle and other blooms are just so full of reflective particles that they shimmer from any/all angles...

The reflective particles evolved to help prevent the blooms from being dried out by the sun...

TTY,...

Finally after watching this thread for ages i thought i'd join in.
I can't name any of these but i like the look of them.
Here in the uk its a real bad Mg growing year... far to cold and wet... 6 weeks worth of rain so far.

a little cute one

another picture of this one... its strangely one of my favourites just for being different to the others i have.

This one has been i'd by Ron but the name escapes my poor memory right now!

This is the first one i have ever grown that has stripes... so lovin it this year... just wish i had flower on more of them.
Rons rarities are the healiest looking mg i have.... so pleased i kept them inside.... Ron i have news for you i'll post in the Rarities thread.
Mike

A, Love the pink tye dye!!!

Emma the rose silks are real pretty. I like this one a lot!! http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3763173

Joseph your yellow one is spectacular, the blue one is real nice too. They would look good growing together!!

Mike, I like the little orange one and the striped ones are real pretty!!

Mike - I like your orange one, too! I wonder what cultivar it is? I'm amazed at what looks like lots of buds on it. I didn't know that MGs came in orange blooms! :-) Could you take a photo of the leaves, too?

Thanks Ronnie,

Emma

Ron - Thanks, too! I kind of wondered if the shimmer might be the angle I was looking at it. It sure makes the blooms stand out! :-)

Hi beckygardener, Ron was thinking Ipomoea coccinea or possibly Ipomoea hederifolia but would like to see a seed pod to be more sure.
I just realised you can see all the slug damage i'm getting on the striped mg picture. Stupid wet weather! lol

Mike

Mike - It certainly looks a lot like Ipomoea coccinea. Is it considered a "wild" cultivar of MG?

Here is a new one that just flowered today. It appears to be similar to Q751 but it seems to have a more angular outline of the corolla than Q751.

Joseph

What JMG garden would be without Mount Fuji?

I can't stop looking at this one!

Here is Ipomoea albivenia flower bud. The flower bud is partially protected by a plant structure that curls over the bud.

My second year plant is covered with these flower buds. I can't wait!

Hewittia malabarica is about to make a flower.

Fujishibori Wisteria Tie-Dye

Joseph, where did you get this one? http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3765014 It's great!!

Joseph,
This one is incredible
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3765014

Are these like some of the seeds I have and haven't grown out yet?

Joseph, the correct name of your last bloom is:
Fujishibori Wisteria Tie-Dye.
I have noticed my blooms have anywhere from 5 to 8 Rays.
Your Bloom has 8 Rays - Very Nice!

The name isn't fitting is it!

Emma

I somehow don't think the next few years will top this year's MGs..

Joseph those are great looking flowers, that purple one that has those stamen's & stigma spread out like that, wow... it looks like it also has a reversed tube on that. And yes, where did you get that?

Great flowers everyone.
A.

I got the seeds as a gift from a Japanese gardener. It is an awesome flower.

I have one that has similar leaves, speckled like the Fujishibori Wisteria Tye-Dye flower but has yet to open up fully. Maybe tomorrow.

Joseph

Emma, I also love the one that looks like raspberry swirl ice cream! Yum!!!!

Joseph - I have to agree with everyone ..... that purple bloom is really unique! It's definitely an eye-catcher! I'd keep looking at and checking it, too! :-)

This has been quite a year for some outrageously beautiful and unique MGs! I'm rather stunned by some of the blooms y'all have posted on this forum! I am also really astonished at some of the crosses that have been created this year. Y'all have done a great job and a true asset for the cultivation of MGs! :-)

Thank you MG Man,
It is awesome isn't it.

Emma

beckygardener - Ipomoea coccinea is considered to be a native species of the USA...the coloration of the blooms varies from an orange-yellow to red...

Joseph - This photo here

belongs in the PlantFiles...

are the secondary bracts...the secondary bracts are usually still present on the most commonly grown morning glory species albeit in reduced form...

Here you can see the secondary bracts below the sepals on Ipomoea hederacea

Regarding this bloom here
http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3765042

It looks to have healthy(!) repro parts...

I'd like to see this particular type referred to as "Fujishibori"...the 'wisteria tie-dye' 'appendage' is a gratuitous attempt to translate the description into English but the Yamato-Noen company that offered it referred to it in their catalog as simply "Fujishibori"...

All the plants are looking great(!)...

TTY,...

Ron

Thanks, Ron, very informative and interesting!

So the primary bracts are the sepals?

Joseph - yes,essentially although most usually referred to as the sepals...

TTY,...

Ron
