You're right, that isn't Just Joey. The color is wrong and even the bloom shape isn't quite right. It does, however, look like my Koko Loco!

Suseart, Your first 3 pictures are of Emma's Gift/aomaraski and the odds are the seeds you got for this morning glory originally came from either me or from someone I traded seeds with or sent seeds out as a BEAP offer. I have been sending out these morning glory seeds for at least 5 years now, either as trades or BEAP offers. I've been growing this morning glory for 6 years now, every since I received my original seeds from a GW member that does lots of morning glory crosses and this was one of her stable crosses that she sent me seeds of. Originally she called it "Emma's gift" and later added the additional name "aomaraski" to her morning glory. It is a very prolific grower either in the ground or in a pot. I usually grow one plant in a 10 inch pot with miracle grow potting mix and let it grow up one side of the railing on my front stairs. It also will produce an abundance of seeds. Last years vine gave me more than 400 seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. No 2 blooms are alike and you will get dozens of variations in the blooms from the typical streaks to more solids to almost total solid to just about pure white and anything in between. Here are some pics of last years vine on my railing. blooming before i started the vine going up the railing different bloom that above, but similar markings These 2 pics of the same 2 blooms how wide a variety of blooms. the one on the left looks like it almost comes from a different plant but it is not only the same vine, but these are both growing beside each other on the same stem. Your 4th and 5th pictures are morning glory Star of Yelta. Another prolific bloomer and produces tons of seeds as well. I have grown both star of yelta and grandpa otts and the blooms appear to be identical too me. Some years I have found that grandpa otts does not grow as tall or as full as star of yelta and other years they appear to be the same. Your last 2 pictures are morning glory split personality. There is no dispute over the difference between split personality and sunrise serenade. Sunrise Serenade is a hige morning glory, also known as a feathered morning glory. Hige morning glory blooms have many splits in the petal of the blooms that can go all the way down to the throat, giving it the appearance of feathers for blooms, hence the feathered name to the morning glory. see pics below from the plantfiles of sunrise serenade plant file picutres of sunrise serenade Morning glory split personality is not a hige/feathered morning glory, but rather has the appearance of splits in the petal shape of the bloom that gives it a different appearance than the typical bloom of a morning glory vine. Sometimes the splits in the bloom can be more pronounced than at other times, hence the term split in the name of the morning glory, split personality. It is not a bloom that I particularly like so I have only grown it one year. here is a pic of one bloom from a vine a grew several years ago. and here are more pics of morning glory split personality in the plantfiles plantfile pictures of morning glory split personality Hope this helps Fran

Hi Susan, you definitely have an ipomoea purpurea-hige type. They come in a few colors, white pink, blue or purple, some that are also flaked. A lot of times they will show a solid or split flower too. Here is a link that might be useful: Hige MG

Emma, YES, Ron confirmed last year that I was growing Ipomoea indica, which took over my entire back fence and choked out many other bushes and trees, and my husband and I spent countless hours cutting back trying to save others from being destroyed. Since I have only grown that one type in the ground, and all other MGs in pots and YES, you're right, so far the others don't seem to survive past the season. As a novice grower of MGs, I didn't realize they didn't all do the same thing, so (whew!) am glad to hear that. My husband, seeing all the pots lined up against the side of our house, vines winding around the fence posts, sort of panicked and suggested he would be out every weekend with his tools cutting back the runners, as he had with the Ipomoea indica. He will be relieved to hear they are not all perennials. I knew you and Susan wrote about my I. hederacea today, and I really appreciate your help here. I am a novice MG grower, but love them so much, and so appreciate all the help! I will post pictures as the next "Split Personality" blooms to confirm whether or not it is really a Crimson Rambler. thanks, Susan.
