I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to add photos if you wanna. I still have flowers being made on my indoors-grown plants. Enjoy!

Making me impatient! Mine that are in the ground are only about 6 inches high! They should start to shoot up fast since the ground temperature is going up quickly.

Thanks, Anne, I am looking forward to seeing your MGs and everyone elses MGs.

My split petal Ipomoea purpurea made the transition outdoors ok. It's making more flowers and leaves now.

I have start and transplanted 3 moon vines and 3 double purple with white trim MG's. 1 of each up front and in back. The remaining 2 are staying inside for further 'training' and enjoyment. My datura seeds arent sprouting yet, but the seed could be late starters. Thats okay, because I still have a mother plant whom is starting to bust out.

My moonvine that I going out front, but its too saturated, so I bring her in at night. The other two seedlings are regular red MG'S.

This is my makeshift flower bed. Used leftover grass patches with some dirt. I figured MV's and MG's like any soil so it was worth a try to make a raised bed.

I can't wait to see how your garden progresses, Imaeus. Will you eventually move your indoors plants outdoors?

Thanks, Ronnie. I got the Calystegia roots planted and have them outside. Saying prayers for new growth.

Alana, that is a beauty, I need to grow one sometime soon. Hahaha I say that about everything, but it's a true statement.

Here's another set of photos of the deep blue and its variegated yellow leaf. It's a nice color combination, yellow + blue.

Here's an Ipomoea purpurea strain I've been growing under lights in the basement over the winter. It began to make flowers again after a rest period. It is infested with mites, so I must cut it back to try to control the pest. I'll try to transfer it outdoors tomorrow. I have already transferred my caudiciform morning glories outside and I am anxious to see what their flowers look like - they are all grown from seed and the plants appear to be flowering size after 4 or 5 years.

I love the leaves, but I appreciate that icy pastel color, too. Hm. I have a few seeds somewhere that I think I want to sow now.

Have you sensed the fragrance of the flowers?

Here is one from this morning, I like the blizzard pattern between the bluish rays.

Ahh I remember now, Emma sent me some seeds she called it Above the Clouds, Unjou. Not sure how it got mixed in with the blues .. I have a second plant from the same batch of seeds ... that one may be blue.
