hey MG rockers. Let's see your favorites for this season. I've been lurking and I can't believe the crosses & combos you all have been putting up over the months. so... Dig out your favorites and let's make an enviable slideshow!
peace & Blooms Away!
a problem with me though. I didn't foresee tagging the tangled vines so I don't know what they all are. This may be Plum Shadows.... or it may not. i just call it awesome.
seeds from Emma Grace via Karen or Becky.
i love this pretty little bloom.
some from my friends and some from Grandpa Otts volunteers
I think of a pair of Bongos. (((i don't why....
from Becky's strip mix
gray fog at the top of the big fence.
the big fence with Becky's Mad Brazilian and other vines: wisteria, trumpets & clematis down the wall.
now for some fence tops
almost all volunteers
my favorites though are always today's.
Beautiful MG slide show, Shawna! This one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5456356 looks like a cross. Seeds came from me? (If so, the color combo and the blizzard pattern showing up looks a little like a pale cross of Plum Shadows and Purple Blizzard that I grew last year.) But I really have no idea! LOL! Whatever it is, it turned out quite lovely! :-) Save me a seed or two from that one if you get pods! :-)
I shall add a couple of mine in here from my April 2008 grow-out. This one is Blue Blizzard which came from YOU my friend! Thanks! I love this color of blue! Quite a stunner!

My interesting cross - Lady Yaguruma's Kaleidoscope! Which I am growing out again for grins ...
Another of my favorites from this year is Kohkan! I love this one because of the bloom color and the variegated leaves!
I really liked this one too. It has a weird name, "Mutant Bue Needle Leaf Nanding".
And my final favorite from the April 2008 grow-outs is Rabenda X President Bush! It was the first to bloom along the picket fence and delighted me for several months! Beautiful!
WOW!!! i love 'em all. save me some mutant needle seeds and I'll be out tagging vines for the one you like. I love the polaroid collages too. amazingly kaleidoscopically (it IS a word!) sparktacular! (not a word outside my family).
i love this picture with the hungry compost bins.
Oh wait!!! One more ... lol
I do like Shibori Purple X Gray Lady cross that Antoinette created. The Rabenda X President Bush cross was from her, too!
LOL! The composters look like they are chomping at the heels (errr ... roots) of the MGs! LOL!
Gotcha down for the MBNLN seeds! Let me know if you spot anything else that catches your fancy! :-)

Oh my gosh Shawna and Becky, love those blooms. Shawna, can't get over
that bloom from Becky's strip mix. To die for color. Shawna,'would you please send a pic of Baby daddy in bloom, one of my favesfrom this yr?
Becky, love that color on Blue Blizzard, one of the prettiest blooms I've ever seen.
My favorite this yr was your Kaleidoscope, a real beauty.
this is the Baby Daddy. no seeds....
( at least we have the picture.
thanks patootie. 1 of my favorites too.
where's your favorite yours?
more from april
Shawna, I wish Baby Daddy had produced some seeds, I was prepared to
beg. All in all, a stunning m glory. I've had a dissapointing yr with my lack of blooms. I'm starting to get a few on shibori and Pres Bush almost opened yesterday. I finally got so frustrated, I tore the bloom open to take a look-see.
Would have been beautiful. There's more buds so will be able to share
sooner or later. My China Doll has a bud turning a bright pink. Hip Hip Hooray
Joseph, my Shibori makes a 5 inch bloom, really stunning. Thank you
for sharing seeds with me.
