dany - The bloom you posted here is showing blizzard type markings most easily seen at the 6:30,9 and 11:30 positions...

The blizzards can often progress from a darker color through lighter shades to an almost white like in the photo here

I can't say with absolute certainty what it is that you have there,but it is showing definite signs of likely being a very dilute blizzard...

Nice looking bloom whatever it is...(!)

Dany, that touch of yellow in your MG's throat would echo beautifully with yellow Phlomis, while the pale shade of the blue would contrast with the dark shade of the Phlomis' flowers (have never seen a Phlomis up close and personal, but if I had the space to experiment, I would definitely include this in a summer yellow-and-blue flower garden). There's a green-and-gold leaved liriope now blooming in my garden with rich, violet-blue flowers that would extend the season of interest after the Phlomis stopped flowering.

Joseph can help for this flower ,because the seeds came with his huge blue code 15
those seeds produce a white and an others blue ( not code 15 ) who show sometime mutations. see photo

thousand excuses for my poor english !

I found a light blue morning glory in my front bed yesterday. I went to take a pic and there aren't any open today. I didn't know they came is these colors. I thought they were all the pink that I have running rampant on the front slope of my yard. If I remember correctly it had a creamy center like Dany12 has. I will try to get a pic tomorrow. They appear to be semi invasive around here. All over the roadsides but not the blue. It is very pretty.

Texasgrower - Welcome to the MG forum...

There are potentially thousands of different species of MG's with varying behavioral characteristics depending on the climate in which they are grown...and yes,there are some that are frequently encountered in Texas...like
Ipomoea cordatotriloba

Ron, that link you gave me is the MG I have all on my slope and over one honeysuckle. The leaves on mine however seem to be more heart shaped. I love the light blue. It is so subtle. I'll have to take a pic tomorrow.
