    You should not have posted pics of morning glories!! lol! I had to leave all of mine behind when I made the move - still miss them! I had 'Sunrise Serendade' & 'Gypsy Bride!' I love your blue cross! Very nice! I think I sent some of the seeds to Karyn - maybe she'll post a few pics of hers! :) At least I'm seeing what I missed out on! Love the tree frogs - too cute! And your poker buddy is adorable! :) Such pretty green eyes!

    Your MG's look so healthy. My foliage looks really ratty now. The cross is to die for, love the shredded look and the colors.
    Why don't you send me the poker cat and let me play with it till I get my bird !! LOL

  • 18 years ago

    Lenette, your MGs are to die for! I have never seen these before, just beautiful.

  • 18 years ago

    Wow, you sure grow a wide variety of cool plants. I never knew morning glories could look like that. Very nice! I might have to look into the types of ginger that you grow. I love that white butterfly with the beautiful varigated leaves! I have a bid on some ginger from Hawaii that I hope I win. I bought a ginger root at the grocery store one time to see if I could root it. No luck, but it was fun trying! I love your green tree frogs! I have the brown color here.
    Thanks for sharing your garden pics!

    Impressive morning glories, love your cross. Your other flowers are stunning as well. And I see you have pretty little green tree frogs. I never see any of those around here.
    Pretty cat and Lucy's right, great for Halloween.

    Very pretty. I never knew morning glories came in anything but a smooth flower. Are they summer hardy ?

    It is nice when it cools some so our efforts can show some rewards. Keep the pictures coming. How you can move from one coast to the other and have them blooming in one season. Is a tribute to your skill.

    Thanks for the comments :) The blue feathered/wierd one has only put out about 8 flowers so far and 3 didn't even open all the way. I haven't been able to get any seeds so far from it either so hopefully I will get some before it freezes or I will have to try to root cuttings and overwinter in the house. The blue in the photo is a little darker than real life because my camera wants to make all the blue hues more purplish for some reason.
    The phillipine violets are more blue than purple too.

    Both our cats look like Halloween cats lol. We have the black one and one that is white, black, and orange calico with long hair.

    Shawn the plants I won on BGI are: Freckles (It has a green on green variegated foilage-just can't see it that good yet cuz it is so little), The other two are named yet but he is planning to register them. One of the others has a orange almost bronze flower, and the other one is a whitish cream flower, I think, that is a really spectacular bloomer. They are babies of the hybridizer Fred Sommers.

    kylie, that could be a deficiency-who knows, there is a mother plant and another normal pup in the same pot that are very healthy maybe they are hogging all the nutrients. I just think that pup is so wierd regardless lol~growing really slow too, only grew @ 3 inches all summer. I should separate it in the spring and see what happens.

    Jim, you get much hotter than us here but I know that MGs grow in hot climates and reseed themselves to the point they become invasive. I just let mine climb wild up other tall plants like the brugs and other vines.
    Some of the newer varieties don't seem to produce as many seeds so might not be as invasive. I don't have that many exotic types yet- but there are some really strange ones out there now-look at ebay lol.
