Official Camouflage Vine for Our Troops

Well.. the perfect desert / high mountain camo vine... it should be standard issue to the quartermasters.to boost morale.. and still be . camo ready.. Gordon

another view..of the camo vine

well... through the morning glories..you could see the Statue of Liberty... [ when the unused cranes are pulled back...they no longer unload the containers here...safety concerns..]

Cool pics thanks for sharing:)

WOW Gordon Nice!!! What is the name of the blue flower?

Gordon - As always ... very, very interesting photos! :-)

I can't get over the color of those camo leaves! That is really neat! I, too, am interested to know the name.

excellent Foilage! like a hosta mixer!
:D

Gordon - Excellent photos...

The large blue flower that you have posted is "Akatsuki no Umi"

TTY,...

Interesting. The leaves on the Akatsuki no Umi don't look like the leaves I had when I grew this vine last year. The leaf color is much darker on Gordon's vine.

Hanks Ron.. Ididn't have a tagfor it... unless it was mt fugi..which it isn't.. as for the leaf color.. I was looking through.. the tangle of vines lookingfor the roots and tag..most of the leaves on the otherside of the fence of this vine are normally colored... although variegated...but as it grew through to the sunnier side,, of the fence.. .. I think it's akin to sunburn.. although the leavs didn't actually burn.. the coloration was changed.. could this be possible..

Gordon - Yes,the MG leaves can develop more of this type of bluish pigmentation in relation to the sun as a form of protection...the additional pigmentation is closer to a suntan than a sunburn...although the same type of pigmentation can become more visible on leaves as they gradually age or in response to cold temperatures...some plants develop more of the pigmentation than others...

Gordon, I might not be the only one that sent you seeds of Akatsuki no Umi, but - if yours is a seedling of mine - it's extremely interesting to see how an open pollinated offspring compares to its parent.

Ron, are those light marks on the outer corolla blizzard or decolored crest marks or either or both? There was a Wisteria Tie Dye blooming about 5' up the garden path from the parent Akatsuki no Umi which was a solid. I wonder if Gordon's flower shows blizzard genes trumping solid genes via bees?

But Tie Dye, I understand, is a striped form of blizzard, not the kind of blizzard with those little short straight lines. Could just one of the genes behind the kind of blizzard manifest by Tie Dye have separated out of its mix and mosied over to the solid Akatsuki no Umi via bees?

Gordon, here's the possible parent of your seedling Akatsuki no Umi -

Bluesprial.. yes.. it surely looks like your tie dye could be a parent.... I'm sorry it grew out without a tag relating back to you... ...and thanks again ....one of the causes of no tag here.. is the sprouting was so delayed from planting.. that the seed pot went into a large tray and lost it's tag there...when It sprouted out in more of a community slow area... it was removed from it's tag..
I'd posted another varrigation of the lighter blue marks on the outer corolla.. on this one....where there were red marks there.. got to find it again for you...here it is... what do you think.. another gene variation..

"Ron, are those light marks on the outer corolla blizzard or decolored crest marks or either or both?"

possibly temporarily induced 'glitches'...


blizzard genes...Dominant types work together with recessive type...

'Wisteria Tie Dye' is a somewhat misleading attempt to translate into English...'tie dye' (i.e., a blizzard pattern) is not a speckled pattern,but the opposite of a speckled
http://protist.i.hosei.ac.jp/asagao/yoneda_db/E/species/flower_pattern.html

A speckled is basically a light colored background with darker spots / markings,in contradistinction to a blizzard which is basically a dark background with lighter markings...

the name is more accurately Fuji Sibori,as wisteria tie dye does not appear in the name provided by Yamato-Noen

Gordon - I very much appreciate your contributions and so in the interest of being respectfully aware I would like to encourage you to please be sure to redirect any of my 'divergences' into details if you perceive that it may detract from or otherwise be irrelevant to the original intention and interest of your thread(s)...

Ron... I'm pleased and honored to have the information you have developed..stored...sorted and applied..and the obvious distilation and the furthering of the knowledge... and quite complex and cross revelent it is... [ as I can understand it ] but don't take my understanding of it to in any way say I can apply or use any of it at this early point.. bring it on Ron.. and indoing so bring us all up..
I planted out of the community sprouting saucer another one today.. another variegated MG item.. with a tag saying climbing monks hood... not likely from the way it looks...but then I've never sen one.. it looks like another Akatsuki no Umi..to me... Thanks Gordon
Thanks Karen
