I've only have this one that nicely blooming:





Not sure which one it is but lovely color.

Nice one! Looks like Ipomoea cordatotriloba. Search for it in the plant database.

tigerpaws said: Am I correct in presuming this is a morning glory plant? I found ia single plant growing in a flowerbed and I do not know where it came from as I did not plant any MG seeds in that spot. The leaves are fuzzy and there seem to be some white splotches on the leaves as well.

It should readily bloom in winter if you keep it near a light source or window. Short day light exposure will initiate flower production in Ipomoea nil.

This Ipomoea purpurea came up in my memories feed on Facebook. I gotta grow it again next year.

My tricolors are popping again!

Such a heavenly shade of blue

Yes you do need to grow that again, Joseph!

I recall that it bloomed late in the summer, as did Gypsy Bride

That gives you something to look forward to as the others start to fade out, Joseph.

I have to grow Gypsy Bride too OMG garden planning mode kicking in 😂

It's much darker blue than the camera shows.




Closest i've got

Nice one Ethan!

Jeana, for that list and the photos. I had no idea there were that many natives !!!!! I like that orange one especially.

Very cool list! Who was the expert? Macdonald? It's fun to see that I have a number of those species growing or have grown. Operculina pteripes is one - here is a photo of the leaves from today. It hasn't bloomed yet. Maybe this winter or next year.

You are so patient, Joseph. The foliage alone on that plant is worth the wait, I reckon. You are richly rewarded.
I'm more haphazard and accidental in my approach. For years I've allowed the same strain of I. purpurea to hold sway over a certain area. This year, I found this to be the predominant flower form, no intervention by me required. I like it.

The perennials become family members after a few years.

That split petal purp is beyond words beautiful!

It's amazing how long morning glory seeds can stay viable. I have germinated 4 of 4 seeds that were collected in 2007. Even as amazing was it only took 2 days after I nicked the seeds. I will be growing them indoors over the winter under grow lights.

Ooh Joseph do tell...what ones?
