LMAO

First time ryan saw my hubby (before we were married) in the shower he stood there and shouted " mummy why has mat got such a big willy"
You should have seen him go red, but not as red as when later that day my hubby's parents arrived and ryan asked them the same thing!

he was only 4 though!


Anyway......back to the flowers lol

TBH Mags, I can't remember, I got the seeds free with a gardening mag....They must be though, be interesting to see what colour comes out next...:D Hope I have some blue ones like yours...;)My flowers are not as big as yours though..What you been feeding them!:?
I have 2 plants that have blue flowers so far......it will be interesting to see if the others produce different colours!:D

I have watered them regularly and given them a Miracle Gro feed once......;)

Miracle Gro is great stuff. I use it all the time.

Tell you what else is good. When you do a water change on your fish tank. Use the "dirty" water to feed your plants. Even house plants, they thrive.

That's really beautiful Moli! Does the same plant produce different coloured flowers then? I can't for the life of me get hold of any Morning glory. The garden centres say they have had it but don't have any left :( not sure I want to start growing from seed..

The garden centres say they have had it but don't have any left :( not sure I want to start growing from seed..I think I had a mixture of seed PK, can't remember what it said on the packet, I have never seen the annual for sale in the garden centres, although I did see a hardy one the other day, first time I have seen one...

Fran, no, each plant blooms only in its own color. They take 7 to 30 days to germinate, may not be too late to start from seed if you want to give it a try...what's your average frost date there? Seeds need pre-soaking.

Only thing I could find was the bush morning glory, Ipomoea leptophylla, which is a hardy perennial native to the western United States. Frankly, it didn't sound particularly attractive!! I like the old favorites like Heavenly Blue, Scarlett O'Hara, Flying Saucers. Sorry this wasn't much help.
