Happy New Year!

Ipomoea albivenia new growth!

My indoor MGs

My babies are growing up quickly!

Ipomoea platensis is finally making a vine but since this plant makes a caudex I'm sure it's making most of its growth in the roots. Caudiciform Morning Glory (Ipomoea platensis)

Ipomoea nil
Snow Queen white demono. I'm just tickled by the leaves. The blooms can either be shredded or normal so I'm wondering what I will get! But I wasn't expecting this one to show the mutant traits since the cotyledons looked normal.

Orange seeded MG/ipomoea transvaalensis Transvaal Orange Seeded Morning Glory (Ipomoea transvaalensis)

This one I got from Joseph a few years back I think? Ipomoea Ipomoea hochstetteri


Distimake Alamo Vine (Distimake dissectus)

Ipomoea Morning Glory (Ipomoea albivenia)

Ipomoea murucoides
This is a tree type MG I'm growing for fun. Looks like I'm about to get cotyledons! Nothing in the database yet so I'll update hopefully when this one grows!

Great collection Lisa! Thanks for starting the new thread Ronnie!

Some plants I have growing as follows:

Merremia verruculosa





Merremia hirta



Mutant leaves on a demono Ipomoea nil Japanese morning glory


Flower bud on Ipomoea arborescens tree morning glory



Ipomoea descolei

Joseph, I found this thread interesting and I know you have triggered blooming by changing the day length-

The thread "Ipomoea and short day flowering verses automatic flowering." in Ipomoea forum

Reverse tube Japanese morning glory flowers from today

Nice one Joseph!!

Thanks Ronnie!

As a follow up, one Kurenai seedling has emerged and is looking strong. I can't wait to see those red flowers.

for Kurenai

This flower opened today. It is Ipomoea ternifolia subspecies ternifolia. Nice dense purple flowers.

Beautiful blooms, Joseph!

Nice! Looks like my ipomoea lapidosa and pubescens seeds may arrive tomorrow! I'm obsessed with caudex forming plants right now!

Beautiful Joseph I love the color!!

I envy people who actually have room to grow vines. I LOVE morning glories; is there such thing as a dwarf one?

Yes Anne, the Kikyos are on the short side and you can also grow the Nils and keep them short by growing in pots and snipping them. Kind of like bonsai plants. I have a photo of how to cut them in my photo folder I'll post it when I find it.

Ugg I can't find the photo I had with the directions for keeping the plants on the small side. Joseph @Gerris2 do you have one or the link to it?

Anybody got some seed (like 10 or less) for those they may want to get rid of? I can trade for some veggie seed.

Is the Sun Smile series still available? Those cultivars were "dwarf" with nicely variegated foliage.

Not dwarf, but satisfying my own curiosity...

Has anyone grown this Ipomoea 'Golden Chain' ?

I really like the looks of it!

Kurenai seedling cotyledons finally popped open.



The hypocotyl tissue is bright red which indicates the flowers will be in the red part of the light spectrum.
