Flowers from today.

Here's a photo of the lighting set up.



This photo has the flower color more close to reality. It's difficult to get the correct flower color with the grow light effect on color.

My first attempt at growing Ipomoea purpurea morning glory indoors over the winter resulted in a flowering plant - flower from this morning.

I love Ipomoea Purpurea! Instead of just saying "I want to collect every morning glory", I'll just start with all the Ipomoea Purpurea I can find. I ordered a diamond painting kit thing with 30 slots and decently sized containers to hold all my seeds, and I also ordered 2 more varieties of Purpurea. Once they arrive, I'll get to planting all the other ones that I have as well. I am very excited to get started again.

Ipomoea purpurea is a good species to grow when you are starting out growing morning glories. Ronnie got me excited about them. There are many cool cultivars.

I found this last night, is it an ipomoea setifera? I go here often, so next time I'll take a picture during the day, as it was getting dark so the picture quality is grainy.

Right next to it was this plant I've never seen before, anyone know what it is?

Look for seeds on the Ipomoea setifera vines! 😻

I sure am going to! I've been wanting to add them to my collection for a while just cus they're native.

Photos from today. Dig the variegated leaves.







Flower from the variegated leaf vine







This bud is opening differently than the one shown just above. Maybe it will be something 😎 cool.

Just curious where you found the setifera on island?

On the east half of the island, up in the mountains near where I live. I'll send a closer location if you want. But im jot home right now. Though it grows in a lot of places here, I'll see it often, but I can't stop to check them all out and I can't really go hiking, so it was a bit before I found this one on.

Ah, cool beans - I discovered it on the east end too, in the El Yunque park.

so, I checked it out again today and unfortunately I found no seeds- unless I did and didn't know they were seeds- anyway, can I do something with this cutting? can I propagate it?

You could put the cut end into a container of water and see if it takes root. Seeds probably won't be for a while since flowers are present on the vines.

Send a cutting to me and I can also experiment (haha) just kidding - it's very cool you found it.

Wow Joseph the purple with the white edge is fantastic!

Thanks Ronnie! There will be another bloom tomorrow on that plant. It's hard to believe but this photo shows the parent plant.

Spring can't come too soon.

This one is especially gorgeous! So nice of it to open so gracefully too. I suppose the overhead light helps the flowers face upward like that?

Google lens suggests Merremia tuberosa?
