Thank you, Jerome. Sometimes it's easier to learn if you can actually see what a person's talking about. The AVs (and streps) I overpotted because I ran out of smaller pots. Oh, and the leaf pot in the Shirl's Cranberry Smoothie photo is a small Solo cup about 2" across. BTW, you asked about big standards? Apache and Wrangler's get HUGE! I had an Apache Rainmaker that was nearly 36" across in a 4" pot. I had to use a leaf support. Correction: Baby Brian is in a 3" pot; wasn't looking at the photo carefully. Linda

Hi Fran, There is definite confusion generated by some companies referring to the kikyo / bell shaped flowers by calling them picotee and this results in people mistaking the color for a shape...there are single and double kikyo,but I am of the opinion that a kikyo should be referred to as a kikyo,either single or double and this would help to eliminate cascading confusion regarding descriptions... There are 2 different types of lavender...blue-lavender and pink-lavender... Regarding any scent from MG's...most people do not check,so the absence of any mention of a scent is not a definitive indication that the flower is lacking a scent... A scented flower is one in which it is usually necessary to place your nose close to the flower in order to detect the aroma...in contrast to a flower which is fragrant where the aroma is detectable from several feet or more from the flower... I am aware of the flower posted to the PlantFiles that you mentioned here http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/153687/ and although I was consulted and I was not in favor of it being entered as a new cultivar into the PlantFiles as I thought it would generate confusion....it was obviously entered into the database despite my perspective against the entry... Here is another bloom http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/77108/ which was offered by an ebay merchant and entered in 'haste'...and you know what haste makes...(!)...Typical Youjiro always have white rays and any bloom that is completely lacking distinct white rays is atypical and any very atypical blooms should not be entered or entered with an obvious notation addressing the atypical coloration...these very atypical entries are examples of 'messes' that are resultantly difficult to get cleaned up... I thought it would be better to present the atypical blooms in threads and discuss them,rather than just go ahead and enter them as new cultivars...but not everyone is interested to work as a cohesive community...and random entering of sports in the long run winds up creating division...through perpetuating mislabeling and fostering duplicative confusion...thinking about how any entry is going to affect the Larger Community is better than being hasty and entering photos into a reference database which many people rely upon for accurate information... I think the MG pollination topic should be in a thread devoted to MG pollination...perhaps entitled "How to hand pollinate Morning Glories"... TTY,... Ron

Which ones did you plant? I found some on my neighbors sidewalk, and took a few. Can't resist a mg although I have a zillion. They are very common but pretty.

Wonderful! You really understand where the birds hang out in your marshes, and how to see them. Claire
