Thanks, Ronnie. I hope your plants are starting to bud up.

Not even close

Beni Chidori leaves

beautiful color

Thanks, Cinda. The red flowers will appear in a few weeks.

Great to see your flowers Joseph

I also managed to get one of the nils to flower.... And it's dedicated to you Joseph as you have been the main inspiration to undertake this indoor growing

Carsten, that one is soooooo nice! It has beautiful color and look at the wide white central area!!

Thank you for the dedication, you are so kind.

Here is one that I hope will open by Friday. It is definitely a split petal mutant Ipomoea nil.

You are welcome Joseph. And thanks again for sharing so many pictures of your plants - this plant flowered here in my home as a result of that

Yes - it is nice... also the leaves are yellowish and a nice complementary color to the blue.

Does your blue beauty have a cultivar name, Carsten?

That's a real beauty Carsten

Joseph can't wait to see the flower

I think this is as open as this flower will get. More flowers on the way!

Thank you Ronnie

Joseph, In relation to a name - I was actually hoping you could tell me...
I bought the seed from an Ebay vendor - and according to the picture it was suppose to be dark purple.... so either the bees did some gene-mixing or the vendor or I did some seed-mixing.... It's not very vigorous and as mentioned, the leaves are yellowish... Can that help you suggest a cultivar name Joseph?

Yours has a wide white central area like a plant I grew once called Seiun, but your flower shows blizzard gene and also the yellow leaf mutation, which is not usually seen in Seiun. Maybe Ronnie can offer an ID.

Carsten, your flower looks similar to the one on this page:

Joseph I like your mutant, very delicate looking.

@Carsten_DK, your flower looks a bit like one I grew called Suiegetsu only with a blizzard gene. Japanese Morning Glory (Ipomoea nil 'Suigetsu')

I think most that you get now on Ebay are crosses especially if they are home grown. I've grown so many that were misnamed or had a made up name my head spins Unless I definitely know the name or is was correctly ID by the grower I usually just use a description when I offer mine or will tell someone it is just a name I gave to it.

The reverse tube Ipomoea nil went on reverse tube holiday.

Winter break

Yes, party time

Joseph and Ronnie - thank you for your input concerning a name for the blue I had in flower. I think you are right Ronnie - I see it as a result of some home-grown gene-mixing - but that is fine...
