Hi all ,
here starting my Ipomoea with flowers ...
One of the first is Ipomoea cairica ( received as cuttings from a plant friend )
They are now more than 2 meter high ...
Have fun
Hans

In my ignorance, I did not know that Ipommoea could be grown from cuttings. Thank you, Hans!
-
It is not difficult Maggi !
I have made since some years cuttings from my I.indica ,I.alba ,I.leari ,
From the annual forms is it not necessary because they grows quick from seeds ...but with the perennial forms is possibly to save time
A other point is that many Ipomoea are not self fertil ...so they produce no seeds
I have no experience with Ipomoea who build a caudex ...but I have read that it should possibly ( I.platensis )
Which Ipomoea do you grow ?

None!

This is a big fault !
They are easy and make a lot of fun
You can grow it in pots ,give it a little help for climbing and you have every day a lot of fun
Make a try 8)

Yes, I must make an effort!

It is a pity that I can not send you seeds because the Brexit ....

Hans, you will find that many of us are disappointed with Brexit- especially those of us who voted against it - so many of our great nurseries restricted in their business, for a start! ( My own personal opinion, of course!)

Ipomoea plummerae
This is a small plant - which build later a Caudex

Back in our summer we had the first flowering on Ipomaea 'Sunset Serenade' - a double cerise flower. I didn't know f it would set seeds but it has managed a few pods.

While in Goa, India in January, I saw this yellow flowered morning-glory.
I wonder if it is hardy enough to grow here?

very interesting Fermi !
never seen such a double flower
I would try it with this Ipomoea from India ...maybe as annual !

If it's Ipomoea ochracea then it may be perennial, at least with winter protection.
African but apparently naturalised in Australia (https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10.1079/cabicompendium.114969), so take care Fermi :P

today I had luck and I found flowers of Ipomoea alba open :
-
Ooh, lovely, is that the fragrant one?
-
sorry to say ...but my nose is pretty bad
But many plant friends told me the fragrance is lovely :)
-
today nice surprise :
Ipomoea lindheimeri :)
