Morning Glories 2008 #22

LilliMerci - Love your Flying Saucer blooms! I hope you are able to get a few seeds from that one. I would love 2 or 3 seeds to trade for something I have that you may want. ;-)

Sure Becky, I hope to get some seeds too. A neighbor of mine gave them to me, but she soaked the seeds already when she gave them to me. Usually, I would save a few seeds - just in case. Anyway, she is mad at me now, so I can't ask her for seeds anymore. She had the coolest plants too. Well, I have my pride.

Your JMG purpurea looks like this one on the Yoneda web site, Becky:

Joseph - I got the seed for it from you. Is this a different color version of "Shiro Murasaki Shibori Kongo"? Mine is purple and I saw on another thread that Elsa had a blue colored bloom version.

So are the blooms in these photos:

Are they Aomurasakizyouhantensibori (Bluish purple flaked)? Were they possibly mis-marked on the baggie or did I get them mixed up? THAT is the question!

The traits in parenthesis are bluish purple flaked. I guess the purple is being more expressed in your vine?

Becky, did you have to learn Japanese to type that name above?

Thanks Becky. I love all your bloom's, just gorgeous. So happy that we can
enjoy your blooms along with you.

...she probabaly COULD have just in the time it took TO TYPE IT!! LOL
...pic shows some new ones of mine off my vine out back....help with the name please somebody? THANKS!!!! still working on all those IDs....

Darren - The blooms you posted here
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5685904
look like a Rebecca

that has lost it's way...


Becky - The bloom Elsa has posted here
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5654470
is a blue purpurea that is showing the flaked gene pattern

Any Ipomoea purpurea color can potentially be 'flaked'...

TTY,...

Ron, anyone ... So what is it that I have? Is it Aomurasakizyouhantensibori or Shiro Muraski Shibori Kongo? I am less familar with the I. purpurea cultivars since I have currently grown so few.

Darren - Nice blooms! I have gotten some volunteers from some of the I. purpurea I grew last year and the blooms were diluted or changed completely. MGs never cease to surprise and amaze me! :-)

Not knowing/having heard of the Rebecca, I have a dilute of something for certain. I have some seeds that are 15 years old...lol.
Thanks Ron, for the ID I do love what may have been the original. When I first started buying I only got the Otts and the Flying Saucers for 5 or so years, then started going out of the box with some others like the ramblers. Ron, I started taginng the blue flowers for seeds this morning. hope it works. :)
Thanks for the compliment Becky.
:Darren

Becky, I just love your Hannafubuki. Mine crossed with something last season, and turned out a small flowered, purple. Needless to say I am not impressed. I just loved my vine last year....
Your LYK is also a show stopper!

am enjoying the mysteries, surprises and pics, everyone

Cute, small flowered native of the deep south>

Hey Dale! Nice to see you popping in here on the MG forum! Nice cluster of vines/blooms! How big are the flowers on those vines?

Becky - You asked:

"Ron, anyone ... So what is it that I have? Is it Aomurasakizyouhantensibori or Shiro Muraski Shibori Kongo? I am less familiar with the I. purpurea cultivars since I have currently grown so few."

Becky's response

You have the
Ipomoea purpurea aomurasakisibori - intentionally shorted to reduce superfluous syllables
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/95594/

Your purple flaked purpurea came out of a shibori mix...

I call these flaked purpurea by whatever color they are...in the case of the flower that you posted,I would call it a purple flaked...but,that's just my suggestions and you can call it whatever suits you...

TTY,...

Thanks, Ron!

Just wondering ... where did the name "Shiro Muraski Shibori Kongo" come from? Was that a name that someone created (like so many other cultivars with various names) or is this a specific vine/seeds sold in Japan? Maybe by a particular company touting their own unique name for the same old vine? It does get confusing at times to discern what is what! The more vines I grow, the more familar I become with these cultivars.

Blue Star is really a beautiful vine! This cultivar is under-rated IMHO. The blooms are quite large. I was originally thinking it was going to produce small blooms ... and it is producing buds like crazy!!! These are the blooms in comparison with a brugmansia bloom. Just lovely!!!

I have fast become a fan of Blue Star! It really grows and spreads quite nicely as a tall MG. This is one I could use to cover the entire patio fence area. It would be beautiful growing along the picket fence and up and over the arbor. It is a star in my garden bed! :-) It was also the last to germinate and bloom, but sometimes the best comes last. :-)

Ishadatane produced a bloom today. Growing this one along the picket fence doesn't do it justice. I think this is one that should grow in a pot up Bamboo poles (teepee style) to show it off.

I wonder how this cultivar came to be? It looks a little like SOI with the split petals gene. Very pretty!

love the info on the Blue Star, Becky~ I wanna cover my carport....Ambitios but its been done once before. and now for 2009!!!!
:D

Becky, I agree. Blue Star is really eye catching. I just love the size of the flowers. I will never have enough blue flowers in my garden. Just love them.
Please reserve a few seed for me should you harvest any...

Elsa

Elsa - The blooms are producing LOTS of pollen. I have been hand-pollinating each bloom every day, so I sure hope to get lots of seeds to share! I will certainly save you some. Please dmail me your request. That is how I keep track of who wants what seeds! ;-)

Darren - If you want seeds, too (of Blue Star) ... dmail me also. I am very hopeful to get plenty of seeds unless something unexpected happens or this vine is sterile.

Becky, I'm also enamored of the Blue Star, will defintely start a couple of these
in the Spring. Yours is lovely.
Becky, your Ishadatane is actually Ishidatami per Ron's clarification.
I had to change my spelling too.

Only if you get a TON of seeds, Becky..,I have lots to paly with one wall of solid type is a nice plan. Let me know how the Harvest goes~
:Darren

Great Blooms you got going on Becky . . .

REALLY PRETTY!

This one from the photo looks more like a Rose Silk and is not Cocoa Chocolate

Here is Cocoa Chocolate

Emma, beautiful, dark bloom on Cocoa Chocolate.

Thanks Jackie . . .

That is Ronnie's photo of Cocoa Chocolate because it was such a great one.

Emma

Becky - You asked
"where did the name "Shiro Muraski Shibori Kongo" come from?"

There doesn't seem to be any particular 'ploy' or anything...just some distribution company labeling it as a 'shibori mix' and should definitely contain some purple...

Emma - Nice chocolate...

Do you think you could shed some light on the 'chocolate and rose question' asked in the thread here
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/913120/


Thanks...


Ron

Great pictures all!!!
Becky I really, like this one...http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5684677

Hi Emma, this one has a real sheen to it! I Like it!! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5692325

The end of mine for now...cut all my vines down and dug some up. Brought them in to try for a few seeds...

Pretty volunteer gray

This one was covered in pods, hope they mature!

A couple of pods on Saznami light also...

Heavenly blue made seeds for me for the first time ever. Some of my flowers were 4" to 5" It is still going strong! Hoping the frost forecast is WRONG!!

Pleased with this Internet buy of a purpurea...no seeds though that I saw.

Yesterday, I brought inside my rare Ipomoea species containers and also the 2 tricolors I'm growing because of the predicted frosty morning. You should see the number of blue star flowers on the 2 vines, incredible! I hope that parasitica will perk up now that it is in relative warmth now, if only to finish the seeds it has developing.

I enjoyed the photos, Ronnie, way cool you have so many nils still flowering!

Joseph

Hi Ron -

Thanks about the Cocoa Chocolate, but that is Ronnie's fabulous photo from 2007. I couldn't get to my photos at the time, and her blooms were so great!
However, I did get some great blooms from my Cocoa Chocolate this year.

Re:
"Do you think you could shed some light on the 'chocolate and rose question' asked in the thread here"
Sure I'll give it a try - but I need a couple of days before I can get back to even reading it *sigh*

Thanks Ronnie -
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
This photo

along with the one below was taken on the 16th of this month AT 7PM at NIGHT -
Amazing huh!

I can't tell too much from this photo,
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5692782
but it is very possibly 'Gray Morning Mist'.
I'll post one of my recent photos of my recent blooms.
Also, I did get one other MG that had more of a Lavender Color in it,
But, in spite of it all 'Gray Morning Mist' is still growing TRUE.

I still have a few blooms hanging in with a few more seeds to collect on my nils. Still have lots of purps. in full bloom, and my HIGES and a couple of new split-petals, are just cranking up and blooming like crazy. Those are in pots, so they will be over-wintered.

Oh, and 2, maybe 3 of the HIGE vines I have in full bloom right now were over-wintered FROM LAST YEAR and they are blooming 'again' in YEAR #2.
