Arum, I know the blue silk seeds are light does it look like this?

Ronnie, as a matter of fact these seeds were labeled Blue Silk, but it's not this one. It looks similar to Suigetsu. It dosen't have white edges, it is all blue. Such a gorgeouw MG, pity I can't find out what it is. On SOME forums,(not mentioning any names) you have to pay to post, and I don't think that's for me right now. So if I can't find the answer on the GW, I probably won't find out what it is. :) Arum

Arum if you can send me a picture I will post it for you and try to find a name. There are so many crosses now I sometimes give them my own name too!! I like 'Love Is Blue'

Ronnie, summer is gone! No pic! Sorry. I wanted to call it "Blue Amori", but my husband steped in, and I figured if he showed that much interest, I better humor him. I like it too, and thanks! :)

Arum.I REALLY wished your hubby loved ya enough to buy ya a camera.I was just trying a week ago to get my SIL to put a $99 fugui in layaway.it was a 4.3.She is STILL playing with the cheapys in the other isle.I just can't get her into a sony.I still love my sony cybershot.

It sounds great though.I like ruffles.We need a good JMG ID site.but then the pictures will doom us.

ARUM,
Sounds like my 'Silky Blue' in Japanese it is 'Shiruki ao'.
I just sent you a photo.
Emma

I posted a photo of Shiruki ao 'Blue Silk' in the Gallery.
Emma

Emma, I DID think that this was the one, but this MG is a brighter and darker blue, AND the seeds are just like peanutbutter, not cream. Go figure. :) Arum

ARUM,
Actually the 'Silky Blue' seeds are more of a Peanut Butter color now that you mention it. Never thought about it. They are much darker than a 'Cream' color -
More of a Peanut Butter color....lol

Emma

Well...maybe you're right! :) Arum

Hi, everyone - Arum, I hope you got my e-mail and perhaps my mail? I have seen a picture somewhere on the net of something very similar to what you speak of, I will see if I can find it again.

With winter setting in (in Oklahoma anyway), I'd love to have a repeat show of your photographs EmmaGrace! I know you grow some absolutely gorgeous MGs and perhaps we'll get lucky and see some of the ones that ARUM grow as well? I would like to have a Japanese MG for my screensaver at work. I'll never get away with it at home because my beloved granddaughter is our screensaver here.

We have simply been praying for rain. This is a stereotypical Oklahoma fall - dry, dusty, windy. The dust clouds look like big red thunderclouds without any thunder! Reminds me of Henry Fonda and The Grapes of Wrath.

Susan

Susan, yes, I got your email and mail! :) I have been busy, although I injoy all the interesting things you mention in your email. You must grow every plant imagineable! It's been great growing these MG's, but picking all the seeds has been a job! My husband says"you don't need ALL the seeds". Maybe I don't but it seems that I just couldn't let any of them go to waste. Must be an obsessive compulsive thing. Hummmmmmmm, I know Emmagrace plants more MG's than I do, I wonder how SHE manages harvesting all the seeds? :) Arum

Yes gals, we need some more photo's of Emmas MG's!!! Hope, I know I need to get a camera, but there's so many other things that are needed more, it just ain't goin to happen. :)

if you will email me sometimes next week with your email address I will send you LOTS of my JMG photos for you to use as a screensaver.

I would post photos here to share, BUT, it is such a 'pain' to post photos on this site :=(
Unless someone knows an easier way than I understand it. But, I don't want to have to set up a web site just to be able to download photos. Oh well!

I am STILL collecting seeds here in Texas!
and I am STILL trying to get them all organized.
I planted three crops + this year of MG's, and gave up trying to count them well over 500 vines. So, you can imagine that I got practically NOTHING else done in my yard this year.

Maybe I'm just trying to make up for lost time with all of the years that I didn't grow these beauties.

Emma

I think it might be JMG Sazanami # 1,...the seeds for this MG are a tan like peanut butter.
Here is a link of the site i got my seeds from,...you can see if the picture of the flower is the same as what you have.
there is a Sazanami # 2 also and you can see both of them on this page
you will need to scrool down and you'lll find them.
Good luck with finding an id i think this site will help lots,...the pictures are as close as you get to the real thing.
Have a Good Day,
Robbie

Robbie, it looks like that except for the spots. Beautiful MG's, great site! Thanks, :) Arum

I just saw one that I think is really pretty. Of course, pictures don't always tell the whole story, but it is called Brazilian Purple....anyone heard of that? The picture reflects a kind of magenta purple, solid color, large fluffy bloom like you would see on the chocolate or silk types. And, for that matter, has anyone purchased seeds from Onalee on ebay?

I haven't purchased MGs, but am trying to get that elusive corkscrew vine, and also boughts some pink fuzzy bean vine seeds ($2.00).

I shouldn't, I know - don't really have the money, but the one thing I do have is absolutely NO RESISTANCE!

Oooh, Emma Grace, would love a pic. I'm just so crazy about vines. Vines, aroids, and butterfly gardening are all my downfalls. I am wintersowing so I hope I'll have loads of plants - enough to keep me occupied with doing things at home so I won't go shopping this spring, or get on the 'puter (as my GD calls it) and ordering a bunch of stuff. I have plenty of things I will be getting in trades and hopefully I will be able to reciprocate when my guys and girls get big enough. Arum, how ARE those amorphs?

Susan

Susan

Arum: Your Welcome!

susanlynne48:
I have gotten seeds from Onalee,... the seeds were sent to me quickly and she also sent extras,...so i would say she is great to buy from.
