Morning Glories 2008 #19

If nobody minds, I'll jump in and add my own. I just discovered MGs this year and are LOVING them.

I have one and I believe it is Milky Way. It's covered in blooms.

I love it, I really love the dots on Fuji Shibori too, where can I get seeds? Ebay, anybody know. Have never been seen in Sweden

The Chiaki is beautiful Becky and great photo of Fuji Shibori.

Great pic gardenpom.

Kwanjin, lovely m glory. Feel free to post your blooms on this thread.
The #rd threads are for everyone to contribute to :-)

Thanks Jackie and Sylvia!

You have d-mail, Sylvia! :-)

Nice blue blooms, gardenpom. It looks like an I. nil vine. Is it? Or maybe Ron can tell us?

kwanjin - Welcome to the forum! Yep ... this is the thread to post your blooms photos! :-) Cheerful looking Milky Way vines and blooms! I love white flowers!

Thanks. One of the nice people on Dave's sent me this. It brightens up a drab day, that's for sure. I can't wait to have more next year.

Gardenpom I ♥ your blue flower!!!

Welcome to the world of MGs kwanjin~ pretty Milky way..they are always a welcome freebie in my yard!! Do post some more pics!!

Hobbyodlaren I do believe Fuji Shibori is available from one of our Dgardeners on eBay...

Becky - The chiaki has nice color,although they rarely seem to show the youjiro anymore...

I think the reddish blizzard you have posted here

is Hanahubuki...

The nature of these blizzard types is to change frequently,but the first bloom that you had posted here
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/beckygardener_1222474985_212.jpg
has shown the classic hanahubuki coloration...

Here's a few from this morning

side view....

a pretty blue although the camera doesn't capture the color quite right...its more of a smokey blue...

Is this Scarlett O Hara? Got the seeds years ago in a Christmas card....

Here's a nice chocolate...

I'd have to dig for my records to find out what this one is...I think its a growout for someone here....

This one is kind of neat-

I like the sun/shadows in this pic....

This one looks like it has age spots :)

another growout...

my record keeping wasn't the greatest this year....I'll find the names sooner or later!

like the star in this one....

lastly....

Hi Seedsower!

Some pretty awesome blooms you have there! I'm really admiring your lovely collection. Would love to do a seed trade with you (if you get seeds) for these two of yours:
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5610601 (Which looks a little like Fuji no Monet and this one
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5610628 Really pretty with that wide white border!

All of them are truly lovely! :-)

Thanks Ron for clarifying the Hanahubuki for me! I can't seem to find many photos of it on the internet.

Ron - Is "Hanafubuki" and "Hanahubuki" the same cultivar or are these 2 different cultivars? Am I spelling it wrong?

Sandy~absolutely stunning flowers!! I just ♥ this one! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5610601

Gorgeous blooms Sandy.

Seedsower,
Very unusual.... I really like this one.

i love the "one of a kind" one seedsower

Becky -

You asked

"Is "Hanafubuki" and "Hanahubuki" the same cultivar or are these 2 different cultivars? Am I spelling it wrong?"

The cultivar is spelled slightly differently by different companies in Japan,but the meaning is the same...Cherry Blossom Petal Storm...or Sakata describes theirs as "Hama no Fubuki"...i.e., Blizzard on the Beach...the seeds from different companies are likely to produce blooms that vary a bit...

i've just recieved some ipomoea costata seeds from austrailia.
any advice on growing these would be appreciated.

Here are a few flowers from today.

Ipomoea nil 'Dai' lavender form is still making a few flowers.

Here is a full plant image of Ipomoea parasitica in all its bushiness.

Another one of I. parasitica.

Last one of parasitica.

Joseph

love the parasitica gerris...

Joseph, Love the parasitica. When I enlarged the 1st photo, I thought it was Count
Dracula. Same colors and small size. Could parasitica be one of it's parents?

Thanks, Jackie and ceej! I haven't a clue, Jackie, I direct all questions towards Ron from whom I obtained the seeds via indirect route to grow out. Does Count Dracula have such large leaves?

ron... do you think i need to treat i costata seeds with smoke? the only sites i can find reference to it on the net seem to suggest this...

also does anybody want some of the i costata seeds, you might have more luck with them than me.. i'm hoping to get a collection of the "caudiciform" types started.

Joseph - Love your Dai! I can't wait until I get blooms on mine! :-) And your I. parasitica is huge! WOW! Looks great!

Ceej - Will shoot a dmail off to you shortly. What is the deal with treating the seeds/vines with smoke????

Two relatively new ones bloomed for me today. This one is labeled President Bush. I really like it! I've a fondness for pink and this one is so pretty in real life!
