New Thread Morning Glories 2007 #25

Found this volunteer along my back fence this morning. Anyone have any idea what cultivar it might be? Sorry the photo isn't that great. Can't get close enough to it to get a better shot. (Though I will be tagging it!) :-)

This one is Solid Chocolate Silk next to the Cocoa Chocolate blooms (left) for comparison of the two! As the day goes on they both turn more chocolate color. Love them!

One of Karen's Purple Blizzards. The blooms are getting lighter with more of the extreme blizzard pattern in it. Very, very nice vine!!! :-)

This one - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3975808 - made me remember that flowers have souls. Love them all on this thread - all stellar

Emma's 'Lilac Luster'

unknown 'lavender'

It`s always good to see more new blooms each and every day. I`ll bet everyone has enough pictures to last all this winter! That`s a thought.

This one is from some tan seeds growing with my blue willow dianthus. It may or may not carry for the trait but they look like watercolor paintings. I thought Arlan might like this one. It looks like it doesn`t know if it wants to be kikyo or round in shape and a lot of the flowers show the petals in the middle and some are single flowers.

This was sold t me as shibori leaf. It turnedout to be a mixture of traits including some variegated leaves,dwarf plants,tall plants,shibori leaf with solid flower and a few had the two traits combined with the yellow/green split color leaf and the shibori flower. I`m working on segregating the characteristics and seeing if I can get some consistency going with the seeds. Time will tell.

bye/bye for now,

Karen

Ronnie - BEAUTIFUL!!!

I am wondering ..... your Hama Ginga and this one of mine look similar. What do you think? Maybe one and the same?

Emma - Could you have sent me some Hama Ginga seeds?

Becky your flower does look like my Hama Ginga ebay purchase!! Nice, I like it... I like this one too http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=3978541

This is another grow-out from Emma. Possibly Plum Splash?

You could go wild over the flowers whose pictures you have posted, everyone! Wow!

Here is a picture of my SOH-almost from this morning . . .

Now, I have 3 vines going from the seed packet from Lone Star Seed-something. The picture above is from vine #1. This one is from vine #2 . . . Vine #3 has yet to bloom.

Here is a shot of them together:

Drooling here....

Wonderful pictures of your blooms everyone!!

Karen05, interesting to see your blue willow parentwood flower. I also have a blue willow line that I purchased this year. The circular flowered plants have lighter colored flowers than yours and did not have the petaloid elements. They did often have the irregular edge that your flower shows. Mine do not have tan seeds, although I did get one plant from my lavender line that produced tan seeds (original seed was black) and had pink flowers.

Here is one of the flowers from my blue willow system earlier this year: http://davesgarden.com/community/journals/si/130551/

Keep the seeds from each plant separate, as a plant may or may not carry the desireable traits. Upon grow out of each seed lot, you may discover the willow and/or duplicate. You will then know that the rest of that seed lot has the same probability. Likewise, you can eliminate seed lots, when the traits don't show up after an appropriate grow out.

I continue to enjoy all the great flowers shared here! - Arlan

Hi Arlan,

I thought the unknown tan seeds I bought were purpureas! They turned out to be Surprise! I got one willow dianthus in the lot of 8 seeds. There were also the lighter colored round flowers you speak of and darker somewhat kikyo shaped with the whirlpool leves and petals in the middle in the batch. All the seeds I have harvested are small tan seeds. I have also used as much of the pollen on the willow dianthus flowers as I could find that was usable. I`m growing another batch resulting from the crosses directly with the willow dianthus. These are to be saved for next spring when the fun starts all over again. I hope to build a supply so I can share some of these and do some trades. I`m working on it!

What a great hobby! Karen

This a rough presentation of a idea for making cards out of pictures of JMG.

You all have some really nice flowers here.. great stuff.

Ronnie, I'm glad you got yours to germinate, mine haven't done anything yet.. I hope they bloom.

Joseph, I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have the Morning Glories all around me... life will never be the same around here..

Emma, I love your plum frosts, did you grow some of those last year? I missed alot last year.. I'm trying to make up for it now..

Karen, that's my kind of flower right there, the one you got from the willow dianthus... it's the apple of my eye!!!!

Becky, you've got some of the best looking flowers, it's a pleasure to see them.

Arlan....WOW..

A.

Karen - did you use a filter to do that or software. Very nice effect!

Adobe Photo Deluxe... :)

Thanks Antoinette and Emma!

Emma - Your Plum Splash is amazing! What I had marked as such must not be as it is a solid color, no patterns. But I have another seed or two, so will try again. I just love your PS blooms!!!!

Thanks Becky re my Plum Splash and Plum Frost.

I didn't grow my Plum Splash this year, but do plan to next year to see how they grow out.

Antoinette,
I did grow Plum Frost last year, but it didn't grow True.
Instead I got the incredible Plum Shadows that Becky is growing
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=3977865

I will be sure to send you seeds that I'm growing so we can see what happens next year.

Emma
