Morning Glories: Morning Glories 2007 #30

This growing in the floor of my g house. Looks like a Pink Rambler

Anything established in the g house floor is prolific, so I know where I will be
planting a couple of Gypsy Bride seeds early next spring. lol This one
in the shade (shade cloth) and still a huge grower.

Wowzer Karen! Those are some beauties! I especially like the chocolate ray pattern. Did it produce any seeds for you? Thanks for posting your pics...and glad you like mine too!

Sandy

I agree with Sandy! That Chocolate ray bloom that you have there Karen is lovely! :-)

I have never tried growing anything inside. I don't grow houseplants because of my pets. But I sure am impressed with some of the nice vines y'all got growing in your homes and green houses! Amazing that they will bloom indoors like that! :-)

Karen this is amazing! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=4065672

Jackie I would love to have a greenhouse some day!! Right now I will settle for my indoor lights! LOL

Karen - The very excellent(!) Blue Rayed with the distinct striations near the outer limb looks like something that QueenB-Stacey had gotten and posted to the PlantFiles

A picture of my morning glories early this evening. Just the common variety with
a little cardinal vine mixed in which i'm not sure will show in the picture.

Ron - Those photo links you posted are awesome! Wow!!! Stacey seems to have it all in her garden!!! I've gotten trades from her and she sent me some cool seeds! I didn't know she grew MGs too! She's definitely got it going on in her piece of paradise! :-)

Those look like Heavenly Blue MGs! How pretty, Hollybee!!! Love your arbor! That's one of my next projects to be completed by Spring 2008! Your garden is beautiful!

hollybee, Your white trellis with the heavenly blue is Ideal. That is sort of like what I grew a few years ago exept the vines covered a large section of my garage and people were driving by slow to view it. :)

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. These flowers are what makes getting out of bed before the alarm goes off possible for me. The chocolate ray will take a while before I get seeds.

Ron, They did it again but not all the flowers on the same vine had the markings. This morning there were two more and it is one of the vines doing this. I`ll tag the vine for sure. It is a F1 cross between pink blizzard and a pink picotee. The vine and flowers resemble neither parent! Thanks for the links. Those are very interesting and pretty.

Karen

Ronnie, you would enjoy a g house. The only downside is the huge
gas bill. lol I went on levelized billing and that helps a lot.

Hollybee, gorgeous Heavenly Blue.

This is year 3 for my daughters "Henka"-No Izumi cross.Very free flowering and blooms were much larger this year.

Asuka

Spectacular french blue with Yuuzuki.This new blue is indescribable.

Unknown from Nikko Mix.

Possibly Heian No Izumi

Another from Commercial packet of Nikko Mix

This probably best captures the color of the "new Blue".Just irridescent

Gail - Your blooms are really beautiful! Love the "new blue"! Nice one! Your "Henka"-No Izumi cross looks a lot to me like Gray Fog which is also another prolific bloomer. Below is a photo of Gray Fog blooms!

My Yaguruma Blizzard vine threw a really pale colored bloom! Naturally I used a paint brush to try to pollinate it with itself. And then tagged this baby! We'll see if it works! I have been trying to pollinate all the current blooms on this vine to induce pollination to produce seed pods. I want seeds from this vine!!!!

And look at this Rebecca vine! Simply stunning!!! It is right next to the Yaguruma Blizzard vine (as you can see in the background). Love it and the name! Hee, hee!

Golgi, yes this Pic you posted is Heian Izume.

Gorgeous blooms Golgi and Becky.
Becky I hope you get seeds on the Yaguruma Blizzard, one of my
favorites. Very pretty Rebecca blooms. Gray Fog is growing on me,
a beautiful glory.

All I can say is drool, drool, drool....look out!!! Tidal wave is coming...lol!!

:) Donna

Thanks Jackie and Donna! Seed harvesting has begun. I just hope I can get some seeds for the Yaguruma Blizzard! That one y'all would love and I would love to share it! I'm doing my best to try to hand pollinate that vine! Time will tell!

heyy gail good to see you again!

pamsue

becky

pam

golgi when you say that this is year three for this mg does that mean it overwinters for your daughter?

Thank You ,Dee for the positive ID on Izumi.
Yes,Becky it is very much like your"Gray Fog"!
and HELLO! Pamsue!! Good to see you,too! I am almost never here.just post once in a blue moon.
PerennialGirl,no it doesn't overwinter here..(too COLD!)I just meant that it is the third year that it has grown true from seed.

Here is another unusual pretty from this morning. The cool weather is bringing out the color and striations. Karen

How about two?

Finally, here are some leaves to appreciate. Karen

Beautiful dbl bloom Karen

karen
thats interesting how the cold weather affects the blooms

pamsue

@Karen...nice double booms! are they double Kikyo?
@golgi..."new blue" is a great color, does it shift to purple by the end of the day? or is it stable?

Maybe it is a variety of kikyo. These have light tan seeds and they are different in some ways than the ones I have grown before. They also have sprouted a mutant willow dianthus plant off the same parent plant as these so they may carry for mutant genes. Karen

Karen,

Very interesting. The leaves in the middle are they from the tan seeds that produced the Kikyo looking plant?
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=4085573

I still have lots of those seeds from last year but did not plant any this season. But I remenber what the leaves looked like and if I`m correct they were blooming two different type of flowers on the same plant.

Today is the beginning of my work week so I`ll catch you guys later.

Dee

The nose leaf plants are going to produce a purple split petal flower. The kikyo looking plant has been making several different kinds of leaves and some are very curled up tightly in swirls and others are more elongated sort of like the willow leaf but larger and almost not looking like a morning glory leaf at all! They resemble the leaves on my thunbergia vines rather than the kikyo morning and they are interesting.

I`ll post some leaf pictures tomorrow. Karen

Very nice flowers all,
not much here lately, tomorrow all the MGs will be cut down in this area and moved either inside or to other locations, these are reaching for the sky... up in a tree..

Pearly Gates.

#1 these are probably the last few from this plant. The colder it gets, the more the colors change.

#2 these are blooming inside.. although I do have some plants inside, it doesn't seem to make them form seedpods, I don't know why. Some do and some do not.
