That's just great, Diane! Thanks for sharing such an interesting plant!
We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Diane - that is so pretty! That isn't from the cutting I sent you, is it? Some days I wish I still had my vine, but it was really getting way too long and the bloom time was so short and erratic. Besides... Salem just loved to eat all of the leaves off when we brought it inside for winter! I don't have any blue flower pictures right now. I can't seem to get a good shot of my forget-me-nots ever.

No the one you sent me you said was white,, It has never bloomed But this year it's much bigger than last year so Maybe I'll see blooms,, Here is your blue scilla that bloomed in March (that's this spring 2010)

ah yes I see now, Diane. Thanks. I have an 'a framed' 4 ft trellis that I will use so I guess it will be going up the back half & down the front half--- (I figure that the flower will come on the front half)

Diane ~ so enjoy the photo of your Heavenly Blue MG. My sisters and I have always grown that variety because it is our favorite from childhood as that is what our mom always grew. But I also like to plant the other varieties nearby. You have a lovely display this year.
We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Thanks Merme and Sheri,, One good thing is I don't have to replant these every year, there are so many seeds fall all over the yard,, I pull them out of the grass too
