We will have to wait for the flowers to verify the names you put on the packets.

You should see all the flower buds on this Ipomoea purpurea. I can't wait to get this one outdoors to see what it will do in real sunlight.

Have a great morning glory-ous day!

Nice variation on the I.purpurea flaked patterns...

Thanks, Ron, here is another one.

Gerris -- OMG -- such a lovely collection. How beautiful and happy these are.

Simply amazing - thanks for sharing - very inspiring. :)

Thank you, PinesEverywhere. It's a fun group of plants to grow. Be sure to share your plants' growth progress and flowers in photos, we all want to see.

Here's a yellow leaf Japanese morning glory that should make a deeeeeep blue flower if it is like its parent.

I got this one from Arum, Chocolate Explosion. We'll see flower buds exploding soon!

Man O Day, I can't wait!! :)

Here is todays flower, always looking perky and cute.

Very vibrant! What MG's will you be growing outside this spring?

Actually the list is too numerous to count hahaha. The one I will grow that has a name is Blue Silk. All the others have no name or have a meaningless code number for the strain.

I happen to like the alpha-numeric code system and think that it has a beauty beyond any 'fuzzy-wuzzy' style names...

Joseph, I already have sprouts from the MG you sent. It seems the neighbors always come up before mine. That's because the seeds are always left in the ground I think. My moon vine starts so late,(not till the ground is really warm), I'm always afraid I won't have time for it to set seed.

I have a pink Ipomoea nil Japanese-developed morning glory that decided to make another flower after a month of not flowering. I have been growing the plant indoors over the winter and I thought it had finished its cycle of life. I gave the plant some worm poop tea, and it sprang back to life.

The flower is showing some darker streaks of pink which is attractive.

Yum Yum, worm poop tea! Must work well, what a pretty bloom. :)

Chocolate Explosion is about to open, I predict Tuesday at the earliest.

Mr. C. Explosion is taking his own sweet time opening up. Patience is indicated.

Well, I've been checking this post at least several times a day. Hopefully it doesn't do what my prized Hibiscus did. The bloom came, I waited and waited, then all at once, the whole bud just dropped off!

I hate when that happens. The Chocolate Explosion flower bud is about 1/4 emerged. It may open tomorrow or by the weekend. It's a bit chilly in the basement so that is what is keeping it in slow motion.

Here's another pink mg flower for your viewing pleasure. It opened today and I missed it this morning. It was waiting for me when I came home from work. I do like its intense pink color.

Very pretty, it's interesting the way it almost has a white edge. :) I would never had thought that you have such a variety of Mg's.

Chocolate Explosion opened up!

Great!!! :) Some of the other seeds to this might have a tendency to show more explosions qualities.

Look at this nice purple morning glory that opened this morning.

Yes, that is a beaut. Did you happen to grow the Heine no umi I sent? I recall that it was a big purplish one.

I'll be able to start planting outdoors starting this week, yes!!

Well, I planted my Heavenly Blues, a whole pack of seeds, but yet only a few came up. I wonder why,- they were fresh seed, a new pack anyway. Still I expect to have some nice vines.

I set the first batch of MGs out today to harden off a little before I pot them on tomorrow afternoon.

hi Gerris in your last pic what are the seedlings in the bottom?

They are morning glories that are not as developed as the ones which were the subject of the photo. The ones you asked about should yield interesting mutant flower forms.

ok. thanks.

Wow Joseph, those look so healthy. It will be interesting to see the finished product. Keep us posted! :)

I will try to get all these babies planted this weekend. This plant is doing ok in its outdoors location. It's loaded with flower buds.

When I look at the leaves of my mutant morning glory plants, I find my mind and soul are at peace with the world, momentarily. It is a wonderful effect.

Doesn't this mutant morning glory leaf look a little like a mini-lily pad?

Hey Joseph, did you say you were looking at the vine, or eating the seeds when you feel that way? :)

No, I don't eat the seeds.

I guess I should not reveal my feelings about MGs, I'll get sent to a padded cell.

Here is one that opened up over the past couple of weeks which made growing it so worthwhile.

"I guess I should not reveal my feelings about MGs, I'll get sent to a padded cell. "

You just crock me up (!)...ROR = Rots of Raughter (!)...

I installed a yellow leaf morning glory (Ipomoea nil) out in my front garden today. It will be growing on a circular trellis for passersby to admire. When in Japan in 2009, I saw many homeowners in Fukuoka and Fukui display their morning glory containers in neat orderly rows in front of their homes. Unfortunately, the letter carrier would not be able to get to our mailbox if I did the same as the Japanese.

What a delicate MG. :) It reminds me of a ballerina. My MG;s are also growing by the fence. I purposefully walk by the neighbors everyday to view theirs. Although theirs are more common, they are pretty.

That's so cool you have morning glory growing neighbors, Dena. My neighbors mainly grow mulch in their gardens. Or they have a serious love affair for marigolds.

Here is the cotyledon pair of a morning glory (Ipomoea nil) that should make a large flower and soft blue color, with white margin. It really ought to have lovely variegated leaves too (I can't remember). I grew it indoors over the winter in 2009. I'm excited to grow it again, finally getting around to it.

I found a photo of the parent's flower.

My goodness, imagine having an entire vine of those! A real eye stopper! Name? :)

Thank you, Dena, that one was from a mix and had no name.

I had a new one make some flowers today, Ipomoea nil 'Mountain Stream'. Isn't it fabulous? I couldn't stop taking photos of it this morning.

Oh my goodness, I'm in love! Wow, you do have some great Mg's. What a collection! This is not only beautiful, but quite unusual. Drool drool. :)

Isn't that one awesome? It's still open today, but the blue changed to pink, it's still pretty.

Look at this one, a no-name strain of Ipomoea purpurea. I am grooving out over its split petal flower form.

Here is a double flower form of a perennial vine, Calystegia pubescens 'Tenshi Botan'. The pink flowers look like little angels floating on the background of dark green foliage.

It's summer now, so I'll be starting another thread. It's been fun.
