Thanks for the comments :) The blue feathered/wierd one has only put out about 8 flowers so far and 3 didn't even open all the way. I haven't been able to get any seeds so far from it either so hopefully I will get some before it freezes or I will have to try to root cuttings and overwinter in the house. The blue in the photo is a little darker than real life because my camera wants to make all the blue hues more purplish for some reason. The phillipine violets are more blue than purple too. Both our cats look like Halloween cats lol. We have the black one and one that is white, black, and orange calico with long hair. Shawn the plants I won on BGI are: Freckles (It has a green on green variegated foilage-just can't see it that good yet cuz it is so little), The other two are named yet but he is planning to register them. One of the others has a orange almost bronze flower, and the other one is a whitish cream flower, I think, that is a really spectacular bloomer. They are babies of the hybridizer Fred Sommers. kylie, that could be a deficiency-who knows, there is a mother plant and another normal pup in the same pot that are very healthy maybe they are hogging all the nutrients. I just think that pup is so wierd regardless lol~growing really slow too, only grew @ 3 inches all summer. I should separate it in the spring and see what happens. Jim, you get much hotter than us here but I know that MGs grow in hot climates and reseed themselves to the point they become invasive. I just let mine climb wild up other tall plants like the brugs and other vines. Some of the newer varieties don't seem to produce as many seeds so might not be as invasive. I don't have that many exotic types yet- but there are some really strange ones out there now-look at ebay lol.

Does anyone have few Gypsy Bride MG seeds that they would like to trade? None of mine made it this season. I have some JMG MG's for trade, Kikyo Sky Blue, China Doll, a magenta hige and a bluish purple hige that I can't remember the name of as well as some others.

It is slow to flower up and to set seed, but yes it will make seeds, Judith. I agree, Arum, I need to grow that one!
