This morning glory flowered up for me yesterday. Isn't it awesome? I love the color combination of blue flower and yellow leaf.

I like that! The coloring and patterning is reminiscent of the F1 Platycodon Blue X Fujishibori. Is that a cross?

I don't know the lineage of this JMG I showed. It does show similarities to your plant's flowers. Very cool.

With that kind of distinctive patterning I'm betting it's an F1 cross. I'll keep my fingers crossed it's stable (but I won't hold my breath).

It's beautiful. Do they grow in shade and are they perennial?

I noticed that two of you use blue MG flowers as your avatar. Is blue the most sought after color?

In my opinion, you can't have enough blue flowers in the garden, which include morning glories in particular.

I guess I had too many other varieties growing to get this one started again.
