Thank you. I admire your setup. I appreciate your description and information.

It's my pleasure!
I am seriously impressed with the Ipomoea section of this forum.
It is I who should be thanking all of you!

Thank you all for the love of Morning Glories!

We're glad you are here Entwined.

We're all bonkers for this plant family.

This mutant Ipomoea nil is going to bloom soon. Maybe Monday I hope.

"Ipomoea coccinea 'Orange Noah'
Ipomoea hederacea
Ipomoea hederifolia var. lutea
Ipomoea nil 'Early Call Mix'
Ipomoea purpurea 'Blue Star'
Ipomoea purpurea 'Stellar Pink'
Ipomoea transvaalensis"

You will have fun with these selections. Be careful with hederacea and hederifolia, they will reseed in amazing numbers and they could get out of control.

Interesting name for the purpurea cultivar.

Looking forward to seeing your plants growing this coming year!

Good to know on the re-seeders. Thanks.

Certainly glad to help, also be careful about the purpurea for reseeding

Pure white Japanese morning glory flowers are blooming indoors this week. I named the cultivar 'Lona Mae', in honor of my mother who passed away 10 years ago. After her funeral, I returned to my office at work where I discovered the plant was actively blooming on my windowsill. So I named it for mom.

Thanks for those seeds Ronnie.



Kurenai first leaf



Thanks for the seeds Loretta

Ipomoea descolei



A new one from Azuremore - grooving out over the dark green leaves



Ipomoea purpurea - small plant with a flower bud. Leaves are supposed to be variegated. They seem to have the yellow leaf mutation. Code name Q1129.1

I love all the differences in leaves & beautiful blooms for your mother, Joseph

Thanks Thea!

I forgot one - this mutant looks like it will make a peony type flower (called botan flower by the Japanese).

Yes i did a while back!

Love them all! Ipomoea descolei has interesting leaves and that yellow mutant is cool! I'm dying to find the variegated leaf ipomoea purpurea mutant.

Which one? This one?



Or this one?

Oooh! Love both of those but especially the striped one!

You are welcome Joseph! I love seeing Lona Mae

That bloom is to die for!

Both amazing. When I want to drool I look at the Japanese website with all the mutants!

So this is crazy! My Stictocardia started making true leaves-


But that's not what's crazy. It's got the same thing that happened to a few of my other plants but en force!

It's not a pest as it's actually a part of the plant but it does eventually cause that leaf to drop. I lost one of the cotyledons and I'll lose this one soon.

I had to clip off the cotyledons of the others it happened to eventually. I'm absolutely convinced it's happening because I mist the plants with the bright grow lights on. I'm going to have to try to remember to do it after I shut them off for the day.

My ipomoea platensis is making a vine!

And this was so nice! I bought some lilac ipomoea carnea ssp fistulosa seeds off Etsy. She sent me a few white ones as a free gift and I inquired if she had any more to purchase. A few days later I received an envelope with a bunch of them!

So if anyone wants to grow ipomoea carnea ssp fistulosa alba, I've got you covered!



My little indoor garden

Ipomoea pubescens starts life

Operculina pteripes had a growth spurt. I've clipped the vine once on top so it would make side vines but now I will have to figure out some other way.
