Anyone have any clue what this may be? I thought it was a MG at first, but it grew so slow, and I noticed the leaves were a bit different? Then I noticed the little bulb(?) type growth right at the base, at the soil..what is this??? lol

I need to know if it's worth bringing in for the winter.

thanks! :)

    Fantastic brugs, Daniella! Also love the coloring on that 2nd hibiscus, and all the beautiful MGs!

    Theresa, no it's not..I'll take a pic of my monkey balls next time I go out, and will post it here on this thread. I only had the one 'potato' to start, so I know this isnt another one, plus the leaves are diff.
    I know! Kaaaarrryyynn!!! LOL! I was hoping she might know what it is.

    Thanks El, thats a tropical NOID hib. It didnt make any seeds all summer. I just crossed that one with a hardy pink hib as the mom, looks like it's taking!! I don't know why I only did one? lol. If I get more blooms on the hardy hib, I'm gonna do more. The hardy one, never made one seed pod till I diddled the trop's pollen on her. hmm..I didnt post a pic of that one?
    The tropical one has had non stop blooms since I got her. Never made one seed pod. Got 2 like that off the dead rack at HD..you'd never know it to look at them now..beeeeeautiful!

    Thank you Rock Oak Deer..I am so sorry, but I can't remember your name?

    thanks ladies :)

    It might be a Brazilian morning glory which is a tuberous variety. I sent out a bunch of seeds for that one last year, maybe I sent some to you? The seed is big and kind of furry. Your hibiscus and ROS are so pretty and I like the color of that dahlia. Everything is pretty. Too bad it's almost the end of our season : (

    Everything looks great! I really lke the Cypress Gardens pic, and that seeling looks like it might be a big flusher too. I really like that blue MG at the end of the one row, with a darker blue star.
    Monkey Balls?....the things some of you grow are so odd, lol. Didn't someone grow a seed calles hairy balls last year too?

    Gomphocarpus physocarpus is also called Harry Balls. It's a type of asclepias.

    Thanks guys ")

    Karyn, I looked up pix of the Brazilian MG, and nope, not it, the seedling pix dont match up..thank you tho. I don't think I had any big furry seeds, lol..and that name isnt in my book.

    I killed my hairy balls :( I stepped on them too many times. The ferns grew so the edges were covering the seedlings, I kept forgetting and..well..not the first balls I've stepped on and crushed..just ask DH, lol. Sorry, I couldnt help it! ;p

    Shawn, isnt that MG sooo pretty! I almost pulled that section..wasnt sure I wanted them growing there..glad I left them!
    I really like that white seedling..seems like she'll be a good bloomer, she's poppin open new buds every night since that first flush! But she doesnt handle rain well. We had rain and all of her blooms turned yicky brown on the edges, even the ones that were only 1 day old...not good. Still smelled really nice tho, lol.

    Thank you Ingrid :)

    here are some more for ya's...
