Vera, keep us up to date on that puny little MG vine. Maybe it's a mutant. My Sunrise Serenade completely covered the vine pole, and then some; it cascaded down in every direction after it reached the top. It was truly exciting to see and enjoy. The seeds I sent you were from those flowers. I wish I had not deleted all of the pictures I took of it, but I consolidated my files when I did a back-up floppy to install on the new computer. Last year, I grew some Heavenly Blue and some Star of Yelta, and this year I had a couple of volunteers from those plants, so I'm letting them grow up the vine pole. I won't know what I have growing until the blossoms start. Mary

The color really is amazing some days. I know some looking at the pictures probably think the colors have been saturated by editing. But, the pics above are straight out of the camera. Of course, cameras add their own plusses and minuses, but, more often than not the colors are not as vivid overall in the resulting pics as what I see with my eye.

Very beautiful. Isn't it odd how the colors run together with almost a liquid effect. We have had some wonderful sunrises lately but I've been too sick to spend much time outside looking for the best places to take photos.

Excellent shots. Welcome home. Are you glad to be back? Heard it is still cold in your area.
