HERBA JAPONICA 2nd.

This vine , for me it's a enigma !

Dany - What is the enigma about the MG that you posted above (?)...are you wondering what the species is (?)...or why it has heart shaped leaves (?)...

Ron, the problem is that there is no Ipomoea Purpurea totaly dark pink (the Crimson Rambler family has a white tube ) , it's I. Purpurea or Tricolor leaf .
It's not Scarlett o'Hara with his trilobed leaf ( I. Nil ), so what is it ?
Dany
Here and other pic

dany - it looks like an Ipomoea nil...

Thanks for posting your questions...

my babies are starting to look like morning glories and they are growing really well so thanks dany for the info you have given me it is all working out cant wait to get the rest of the seeds I purchased to get them growing also, it is going to be a great summer with such beautifull blooms I just cant wait

Dany, some ipomoea nils do have heart shaped leaves. I had some purple i nils similar to the red ones in the picture you are showing with the solid heart shaped leaves and the sepals are long and thin typical of i nils.

I'll buy those seeds ( 10 Yens ) and I'll grow them this summer .
Here is a rare from the new generation !

you do have a sense of humour hahhahahahah

To illustrate here is a obviously ipomoea nil that has cordate shaped variegated leaves. They also can come in small flower and solid green cordate leaf.

WOW! That is a striking blue and very pretty!

The easiest way I learned the differences was to view them side by side.

Thanks LiliMerci!

Hi Dany,

I think that is about donating bone marrow to cure diseases in patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia, and some immune deficiency diseases. The marrow of our bones is the spongy middle part that makes our blood cells. We would die without the marrow in the bones making new blood cells. The treatment they use to destroy abnormal cancer cells in a patient will also destroy their healthy bone marrow cells. Harvested marrow is transplanted from a donor to replace and grow back so the patient can live after the treatment.

School children in Japan grow morning glories for projects. I suppose maybe they are using the morning glory for a theme to encourage healthy people to donate marrow to help sick children? It is my best guess. :)

Karen

Edited: I came back to add more information.

In the past, donation of stem cells from bone marrow involved surgery to draw marrow from the hipbones. Stems cells were then collected from the donated marrow. Today the most common way of collecting the stem cells is by filtering them directly from donated blood. Many people still refer to it as bone marrow donation, even though bone marrow isn't directly involved.

That is a bit off topic but interesting I think.

Dany, this is a close up of just three ipomoea species side by side. Karen

ipomoea purpurea:(Crimson Rambler, Hige, Joyce Cobb etc.)
ipomoea nil: ( Kikyo, Sunsmile, youjiro, Large flower etc.)
ipomoea tricolor:(Heavenly blue,Pearly Gates,Wedding Bells,flying Saucer,Blue star)

wow the pics are amazing it is easy to see why I could really get addicted to MGs

Karen, snif snif , I was hoping that there is perhaps a second sens for marrow like essential

Dany,

I love this picture. If I could get what I wanted from this greenhouse they could keep the plants. I would buy the dirt in the background and take home a truck load. :)

Oh let me rephrase that! I mean boat load. I would also go seed shopping and find out what products they use on their plants. Yes, it would be smooth sailing all the way home!

Karen they to sell one plant for 2000 Yens
On this site I really love the Q 151 Yumeji

wow dany thanks for that link... i'm going to have a go at that :-)

hydroponics

a friend of mine has his own store and he says it is the best way to grow cutings that they root in less than half the time with better root systems, as for germination of seed it only cuts a few days and it is then the transfer process to soil there is always a minimal lost of plants but no more than any other method of growing

he did say that if the additives are not done exactly right that the plants from seed grow to quickly compare to the roots and that when you actually plant in soil the root system is not mature enough to feed the plant since with a water system they do not have to work as hard to get the nutrients

if you do all lot of cutting it is worth having a small system but for growing from seed it is not worth the expense. money better spent on lights first

mona

I was bidding in Japan and today the items have disappear !

What do you think of that flower ?

dany wow.... looks like an I tricolor flying saucers with a twist...

I like it looks like a star wow very attractive flower

RIDDLE
What do you think of that - Morning Glory or rare cabbage from Italy ?

Not obliged to love it !

Nifty, a quick and easy bouquet. No time to pick a lot of flowers? Just grow them all in one.LOL! I think they call that a fasciated morning glory. It is very rare and interesting. :)

Dany - What cultivar is it? Very interesting whatever it is!

Yamato-Noen site is not really clear , where can I find the list of the flowers they sell?
I'm interesting on the number 7 in the MG collection !

Today I try to win an item on Yahoo-Japan
First Frost 5 seeds for 3,33 $

Dany - That bloom on page 7 is beautiful. Looks like a Kikyo Ten Ten with an outward extended throat that is purple instead of pink. Nice!!

Becky have you see on the Kyushu forum , they talk about Fungus problems.

Dany - The photo above ... are those photos of your vines or from the Kyushu forum? I love that bloom on the upper left hand corner. Gorgeous!!

No I haven't seen the Fungus discussion. Can you send me a link?
