Fuji Hot Pink Frost
is getting pretty Frosty

Emma - Your "frosty" Hot Pink above reminds me of my Diluted Fuji no Muraski that I am growing. How do you get the "frost" to become more prominent?

Fuji Hot Pink Frost is a real "looker"!

Thanks Ronnie. . .
The Fuji Hot Pink Frost is turning out to be one of my favorites.

Becky . . .

I was doing mine by selection. Even though they are all very beautiful, I was trying to get the blooms to have more of the larger and wider white spokes. These I marked the pods and self pollinated the bloom and grew them out to see how much they changed. That was about it. Below is one of my Fuji Hot Pink Frost that is also very pretty.

I grew a MG much like you are growing this year about 3 years ago and have not grown it out yet to see if is going to stabilize. I'll see if I can find one of my photos of that for you to compare with yours. I would LOVE to have some of your seeds of your Diluted Fuji no Muraski. It is Very Nice!

Emma

Here is another Fuji Hot Pink Frost

Not a great photo, but here is one of my Fuji Blue Frost MGs from 2006

Emma - Your Fuji Blue Frost is really pretty! I hope it come true from your seeds!

I hope to get enough seeds from the Diluted Fuji No Muraski vine to share with everyone who wants some seeds. But if not, I plan to grow out another seed to see if I can keep trying to get lots of seeds from that one. Time will tell how many seeds I am going to get this year...

Thanks Becky,
I too hope it grows out True. Some of the blooms have much more Frost than others.

Have you thought of taking a couple or so cuttings from your MG. They root very easily in water. Then you can plant those and have even more growing.
Just a thought.

Emma

Emma love your Hot Pink and your Blue Frost, both lovely.

Here is perhaps a " frosty" too

Emma, Becky and Dany - love your frosties - those brush-stroked rays are so elegant

Emma,

I believe the Diluted Fuji No Murasaki is also one of yours. In 2007 I bought some seeds from you on ebay, Blue Frost, Plum Frost, and Apricot Candy,etc . Included in one of these purchases was a gift bag of seeds that reads "Blue Mix-5 seeds" I think your records will confirm this. When I planted them, I believe a hard rain washed them down the incline in the yard, which is why I thought they were volunteers.
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

It does seem that we discussed that when you grew that little beauty.

Unfortunantly the cuttings you sent to me didn't make it, but I do have my two seeds that you sent me going for the year, so we shall see what they produce.

Here is the link to Sarah's beauty

Emma,
Sorry about the cuttings .I had no experience with them, and they were really puny. I hope the seeds come true. The original seeds from you must have been tough seeds. They were washed 15 feet from the original place! I'm surprised 2 of them made it. The second seed that germinated looked like a normal Fuji No Murasaki, but I took it out when I saw the diluted one.
Sarah

Emma.. still loving that plum one, but the Fugi Pink Frost is looking really pretty to me as well.. I would love to see an Apricot Candy! Debra

Sarah,
Wasn't your fault on the cutting, I believe it was just the wrong time of year - but we tried!
I will also look forward to what these seeds do. Hope they are as pretty as what you grew.

Thanks Debra . . .

Here is Apricot Candy,

Close-Up

ohhhhh i gotta have some of those! LOL

That's a nice one, Emma! Sorta like color pattern of Royal Ensign but not anything like those colors.

looks like the cardinal vine fan leaf.. does it bush, mound or twine?

Emma,
The maroon/lavender Rayed Star bloom is just wonderful!!

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6793695 is soo preettty! Home Depot was selling this but in red and I told my co-workers that they are from the same family as the morning glory...they didn't believe me at all.

Lovely blooms and thanks for sharing it Emma =)

Eliz

Thanks Debra, Joseph, Sarah and Eliz -

Eliz is correct, this is Ipomoea sloteri which is like the Solid Red Cardinal Vine.

FYI: Here is a little information
Ipomoea sloteri 'Apricot Candy' is a *NEW* CULTIVAR from Texas

'Apricot Candy' is an interesting cultivar bearing deeply cut, Lanced Green Foliage and Gorgeous, Bright Apricot Blooms with a Vivid Yellow Center with slight Yellow dotting the edge of the blooms at the tips of each *Star* point. What sets 'Apricot Candy' apart from the ‘Regular’ Solid Red Ipomoea sloteri is the Unusual ‘Flower Color Dilution’.

Ipomoea sloteri, an interesting species, was first created by successfully hybridizing Ipomoea coccinea and Ipomoea quamoclit, thus creating the new species of Ipomoea x multifida which when it had become fully stabilized after several generations was given the updated binomial of Ipomoea sloteri = an allotetraploid derived from Ipomoea x multifida . . .
The new species shows a flower most like the Ipomoea coccinea, sepals most like Ipomoea quamoclit, but with a new leaf shape with divided foliage like the Ipomoea quamoclit, but with the overall heart shape of the Ipomoea coccinea.


It really is a neat bloom.
Glad you all like it!

Emma

ahhhhh..... ! oooohhh......... !

Emma they are GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!.......

I'm glad fo you !!! I wish I could take a peek to your whole garden !

Thank you kokorota -
Someday I will get the time to complete my website so I can post all of my MGs.

Emma

I love Apricot Candy. Yours is very nice Emma. I have
transplanted mine into one of those coir pots. Hope I didn't mess up.
Only one seed left so I need to get this right pretty soon before I run out
of seeds. LOL

Hi Jackie,

Yes, the Apricot Candy can at times be very stubborn to germinate. Don't know why!
I just started a new batch last week and every seed germinated right away - go figure!

Hope yours gets going ok for you.

Emma

Morning Storm

Your Morning Storm is nice bright blue in your photo. Here is what mine looked like a couple years ago when I grew it out: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/t/beckygardener/7252/
Did you grow one of my seeds yet? I'm curious to see what colors you get from mine.

Thanks Becky,

My Morning Storm is from my 2006 Seeds. I did start seeds that you sent me and they are just barely starting to climb.
