This looks like a Baby-Blue Flaked, but the camera isn't true.
[However, I 'DID' also get a real Baby-Blue Flaked this year]
This one is actually a 'Lilac-Baby Blue Flaked'.

Isn't it neat!

Thanks Ronnie -

Isn't that a neat photo!
[It was an accident....lol]

Joseph, this is from your seeds, but will need to look at my notes for what it is. These I started very late so they will be over-wintered.
It is an awesome Blue Shibori-Type MG
[Check out my brush in the top left. Yep, I'm hand polinating them]
Not a great photo because the nights have been a bit cool. We almost have my new Greenhouse finished so I'll be taking in the pots next week.

Emma

Ronnie -

Does this look like anything you have grown?
It is from your seeds, and like Joseph's, I started it late and would need to go look at the tag to tell you how the seeds were labeled.

It is an awesome 'Brushed' Fuji Momo, BUT CHECK OUT THE LEAVES.
That has to be the most incredible Variegated leaves I've seen yet. I hope this one continues to bloom so I get seeds.

wow Emma, beautiful pics of beautiful blooms!

Joyce Cobb Dilute

Thanks Debra,

Even though I didn't get to grow as many MGs this year, I did end up with only a 'few' great ones

What is this called?
Most of the blooms are this shape. Only two have been 'normal'!

Pale Blue Scalloped

Started this vine late too. Now I wish I had planted it in a pot.
It is blooming its beautiful little heart out.

RON -

Is this Joyce Cobb?

This is one of the 'Carnival' Mix vines.
Looks like Jamie Lynn doesn't it.

Blue Unknown -
and what a bloomer this was
A very pretty Bright Blue
Similar to Early Call Blue, but it is not.

INCREDIBLE!

Thanks everyone for the kind compliments on my blooms/vines.

I am absolutely loving the parade of blooms y'all have posted! WOW! My eyes are popping out and my jaw is hitting the keyboard! LOL!

Darren - If I get plenty of seeds from Blue Star, I'll certainly share with you! ;-)

Ronnie - Thanks for the correct spelling of Ishidatami. Do you have seeds already for Blue Star? I love the photo of your Chocolate Cocoa! WOW! What a beautiful deep color on that bloom! Yummy! I really like your Saznami light. I have my fingers crossed that you get plenty of seeds from that vine! :-) And your volunteer gray is gorgeous! Hoping you get seeds from that one, too! (If so, ya know I wanna be on the list for both!)

Emma - You may be correct that my bloom is really Rose Silk instead of Cocoa Chocolate. I love your China Doll and Seiwa Flaked. Would love to trade for some seeds from both of those. Mighty fine looking blooms ya got there! All of them!

Emma - What causes the scalloped edges on your Pale Blue Scalloped? I love the look! Very unique! And I am getting a kick out of your Joyce Cobb blooms! Very cool! And just curious ... is your 'Lilac-Baby Blue Flaked' an I. purpurea? That one is so amazing! Keep em coming!

Hi Becky -

I would love to trade with you. In fact, believe it or not, I already have quite a few packs put together for you that I started way back when [BI] 'Before IKE'. I'm still not back to earth yet from that. I have quite a few seeds to share with you. I also want to send you photos of some MGs that I got this year from your seeds, and to compare notes if you grew those particular ones and/or had any that resembled what I got. One was an 'Incredibe' Rose Silk bloom with very unusual leaves. Anyways, I'll get my notes together and photos that are all on DVD's except for recent ones, and let you see those. You may also want some of those seeds.

Yes, the 'Lilac Baby-Blue' is Flaked and is I. purpurea. It is some kind of sport from my regular Purple-Flaked Shibori MG. Also, all of the blooms are consistent on the same vine. It is a very pretty MG that I grew for the first time this year. Guess I need to ask Ron what to call that one. I wish I could capture the true color of the bloom. I'll go back a few days and see how the other colors look on my other photos and post if I can find a better one.

I have no idea why the blooms are Scalloped like that on the 'Pale Blue Scalloped', but a very good question. Maybe Ron can explain.

I have another that I wanted to ask Ron about too, that had 'sort-of' ruffled-like leaves [not scalloped], and I'm very curious what it is.

I tell you, I have had an amazing parade of Ipomoea purpureas this year. Especially my Raspberry-Red Flaked [Two different strains]. Even have a Pink Flaked HIGE that is sometimes 'split'. I have some other very interesting I. purpureas to show too when I can get to them. One was a mutation from a vine of the regular Purple-Flaked Shibori [growing on the same vine] and is a 'White with Mauve-Pink Flaked' Very unusual and just awesome! I have gotten 3 blooms of that one and have them tagged to see if they will grow back True next year. The other blooms on that vine are very heavily Flaked Purple-Blue and very striking. But not as pretty as what you have posted above. WOW, I'd love some of those seeds too.

And this one is a knock-out

What are seeds from that produced this Purple Blizzard?
Sure does have a lot of features of my 'Plum Frost' blooms.
Stunning!

Here is another photo of the 'Lilac Baby-Blue Flaked' with the sun behind the bloom

Edited to say that this MG Bloom will turn to a Pink as the bloom ages throughout the day

Emma - I, too, have a bubble envie with a bunch of seeds you requested packed in it. I figured after this grow-out, I'll mail seeds to everyone that has dmailed me. I'll add Amurasakishibori and Purple Blizzard seeds (if I get seeds for this one) to your envie. The Purple Blizzard came from Karen (2005), but it has yet to produce a seed pod even with me trying to hand-pollinate the blooms. I want to use it to do a cross, but so far ... nadda.

I look forward to seeing your other MG photos. I know you always cross and create some very unusual ones. I am sure enjoying trying my hand at crossing MGs! I've gotten some pretty interesting and beautiful 2nd generation vines/blooms. It becomes addicting once you get good results! lol

Sorry to hear that you are still dealing with Ike damage. I know all too well how that goes. I hope you get everything back to normal very soon! :-) Thanks for hooking me up with seeds! :-)

Wow! These are stunners! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5693340

I haven't grown too many I. purpureas this year. Actually just the one: Amurasakishibori and that one is a killer vine! I absolutely love it! My kinda purpurea! :-) :-) Though I did find a volunteer or two of a tall mix, but not anything unusual. The I. purpureas seem to explode with colorful blooms now that it is a bit cooler. They come alive as the I. nils are winding down. :-)

Hi Becky,

If all else fails on your Purple Blizzard, that one would be worth trying to root. I have had great success rooting MG cuttings this year. Mostly playing around with it to see the results, but usually if I accidentally break a vine, I stick it in water and before long it is rooted. Tip cuttings don't root for me, but any part of the vine with any age should root nicely for you. What do you have to lose!

Me too here in Texas, with all of the colorful purps just blooming away. They are all so pretty too.

Will get up with you as soon as I get caught up with my shipping *sigh*

Emma

Ronnie, beautiful blooms. Love your Sazanami Light and your
Cocoa Chocolate.

Emma, I'm so glad you made time to share your gorgeous blooms.
Stunning China Doll and Gray Morning Mist
Congrats on your new Green House.

Thanks Jackie,

. . . and I'm really looking forward to the GH. This will be #2 GH for this year, and I do need it.

Emma

Time for a new thread, #23

Emma - You inquired :


dilute JC...I say 'quasi-pentagon' because the tip of the ribs are recurving >which is what is causing the outer limb tissue to be pulled down with the rib tips...
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5693073


The 'real' pentagon shaped blooms don't have that 'extra' 'floppy' tissue in between the outer rib tips...


great color and natural streaking off of the primary fold spots
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/EmmaGrace_1224471822_356.jpg


The degree of the selective partial dilution is varying and so is the 'typiness' of the blooms...the following looks closer to the Rebecca variant...
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5693121



Some are losing the selective dilution,losing the effect of the strong ciolor points and are looking like regular purps
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/194077/
despite possibly have come from very typey stock

The Carnival mix is simply a mix of the flaked strain,so whatever comes out of the flaked strain is likely to show up in the Carnival mix

"I have no idea why the blooms are Scalloped like that on the 'Pale Blue Scalloped', but a very good question. Maybe Ron can explain."

I promise I will,right after you finish up with the chocolate thread...

okay,I'll cut you a break 'this time',but hope to hear more from you before 'too long'...

The degree of color point going on with relatively large lighter halo around the throat area and the natural streaking between the points of towards the outer limb area...there is also an overall blue dayglo coloration to the blooms so,it amounts to a Triple Contrast...


I'd like to see the Pink flaked hige...


TTY,...


Ron

Hi Ron -

Thanks VERY MUCH for all of the great Information.
I really appreciate the explanations.
Yes, I'll get to the chocolate hopefully tomorrow. K.

Not sure which Pink Flaked so I'll post two, actually three that I have gotten.
It will take me a bit between postings to find the photos.

This first one is the White with Very Pale Pink-Mauve Flaked that is growing on the same vine as the regular Purple-Flaked Shibori which I will also post. So far there have been three blooms on one of the clusters. I shall watch for more. But I do have these tagged to see how they grow out next year. I will also post a different bloom from this same cluster.

Same bloom, different view

Bloom #2
White with Very Pale Pink-Mauve Flaked from same cluster as the above photo. The 3rd bloomed, but was beat up by the rain so I didn't photo that one.
Also, notice a very thin Purple 'broken' streak on this bloom

Bloom #2 Back Side

Purple Flaked Shibori Vine that the above White Flaked are growing on
This is Purple and not Blue as my Camera is sometimes deceptive

Joyce Cobb dilute

while I am in this group of photos.
This is the only 'regular' bloom that I have seen.
The others have been the above that I now know as
'quasi-pentagon'

Also, this is from a different seed and not from my other JC dilute that you liked so well

Solid Pink Flaked from the 'Carnival' Mix

The above bloom was with Camera Flash
This is same bloom as above - as is with no flash

Same Bloom cropped - that is not very clear
