Hi Morning Glory Forum. It's been a long time since I posted here so here's a few of my blooms from 2008 for you to check out. Oh and thanks for the d-mails guys. I'm back in Japan.

It's Fukurin JMG.

Ipomoea Purpurea.

This is from asagao giant mix pack.

This is a smaller size picture of the previous one.

This is Hamafubuki.

This one is from asagao mix pack.

This is double Kikyosaki blue.

Single Kikyosaki Blue.

I purchased 5 of these seeds back in 2006 and grew one. On the package I wrote keep. I'm currently growing these inside now and will post more pics later.

It's Mt Fuji Pink.

Wow! They are lovely, thanks for sharing.

You are welcome. This is from Japanese Special Mix Pack.

Ipomoea Purpurea from Japanese Mix Pack.

I guess that will do it for now. I'll show you what some of these rare seeds produced next time. Time to go to work.

The 3 th. pic is blue Joyce Cobb .???? Is it a red Joyce Cobb ????

Perhaps the red Joyce Cobb is in fact the blue Joyce Cobb in the afternoon !

This dark blue Joyce Cobb is also from my 2007 season. They are Ipomoea Purpurea.

Becky , this picture very nice , very fresh blooms . They come from one plant or all the plants have the same type of bloom ?
I 've made a bed with more than 10 seeds and I got a lot of different types of Joyce Cobb.
like this one

or this one who is the " negative " of the blue Joyce Cobb.
There is another colour more " turquoise "
I hope I get some seeds from your vine .

about MG seeds
the plants MG that we can see on exhibition or show in Japan , they don't produce seeds ?
In other word :is there Club or Folk group fan of good quality MG plants who exchange or sell seeds ?
Is there a Japanese Dave's garden ?
All the seeds we can find are less or more commercial seeds , sometime we find "home" hybrids interesting but the high quality seeds not .
Are they Japan National Treasure and they can not go out of Japan ?
Like rare kitchen races Higo Chabo - Chabo Daruma etc...

For exemple this beautiful plant do produce seeds ?
Dany

Dany - What is the cultivar name of that pink blooming vine you have pictured? Is that one that you are growing? Very pretty whatever it is!

Becky, these pic come from japanese sites.
I never seen this type of flower on DG american growers.
You see the flower on the background , so prety, half white and half brown-rose .
They have flower I would named Chocolate Hanafubuki .
Since 2000 show and before too they have beautifull new type of MG but the seeds don't move!

This pic I find on the MG forum is your , what's the name of this large yuguruma ???

Seito san, english garden club arigato. Please read d-mail from me.

MG Forum thanks for your D-mails, posts and views. I just got in from a trip.and will get back to business here ASAP.

Dee

I purchased more of these and a few others while in Sendai Japan.
The super colorful mix pack I opened has 45 seeds in it, which means I can send out 9 samples. I got lot's of pictures to edit before I can post my new stuff so bear with me.

Dee

Dany - That bloom looks like Youjiro Yaguruma.

I understand what you mean about the seeds not being exported out of Japan. I am surprised that there are not more websites set up in Japan to sell their seeds to the rest of the world. Though I know some USA small companies do sell the original seeds (in Japanese packs). But not very many.

Many of us here though have gotten our hands on some of these Japanese cultivars. And I have seen some really amazing and lovely cultivars created from folks in the USA right here on this forum. The Japanese have a long history and love affair with MGs. But I think many American gardeners are finding them to be worth growing and cultivating as well. So I think you will see more and more coming from the USA. :-)

Kikyosaki seedling 3 weeks old.

same plant 6 weeks later.

From the asagao special mix pack this blue one and also in a fusha like color. The blooms are from 2-3 inch. They remind me of Furisode JMG that was being sold a few years back.

From A.S.M.P.

Red Hots. like the candy.

Stunning !

Ilike a black light from the 70s.

What does ASMP stand for?

Joseph

Bat Wing leaf and trumpet like flowers. easy to grow.!
