Alana, because of space I grow a lot of different MG's together so to get purebred seeds I isolate a bud that will be opening in the morning the night before with one of those small organza bags gift bags you can get at the dollar tree (I find them in the baby/wedding section) then in the morning when it opens remove the bag and hand pollinate it then put the bag back on for 24 hours.

Xeramtheum said:I looks very much like the Parajuli Datura .. when I first saw your picture I was confused for a second.

This Datura flower is a beauty.

It is beautiful when you can get one .. like the D var. Rubra and Gordon's Yellow Picotee you're lucky if you get 1 plant out of 10 that looks like it. I tried a few years ago to stabilize the Parajuli and the best results I got were 3 Parajuli's per 10 plants out of 5 years of sequestering and hand pollinating. The vast majority are pure white.

Alana, I am excited to see flower buds on my Keniaki Ipomoea obscura.

Here is a first leaf of a mutant JMG. Someone compared the leaf to the finger of the cartoon character Mr. Grinch.

My first bloom today, Kazumi. Very frustrated as the color is much darker, as in purple, but after taking 50K pictures the camera just doesn't capture correct color.

Digital cameras are notorious for not being able to see blue and purple correctly.

That's a diatube if I'm not mistaken - I have the blue one.

Well the color is not quite accurate - it's more blue in real life .. digital camera wants to turn purple blue and blue purple .. it's very strange.

Thanks, Ronnie, Anne, and Alana!

Yes that is a reverse tube or as the Japanese call it, a cup flower. I really like that mutation.
