  • For a time in the early 19th century, morning glories were to the Japanese what tulips were in 15th century Holland, when the trade in rare flowers sent prices to absurdly high prices. Japanese morning glory breeders have created an astonishing array of variations in shapes, colors and sizes -- helped along by genes called transposons, which can 'jump' from one position to another within the genome. Learn the fascinating history of Imperial Japanese morning glories!

    Another great video. We grow several of your Japanese morning glories and love them (especially the double flowered ‘Sunrise Serenade’)-it’s great to hear such nice detail about their history. Love the old drawings and art too. Keep the awesomeness coming!

    Love hearing the history of plants! For many years I did not grow morning glory because looking at the seed packet I just did it find them very appealing, And I never seen the morning glory in real life, But I needed a plant to grow over An arbour this Year and it wasn't in the budget for a climbing rose this year, since we just bought a house... so i grew some morning glory (the "celestial Mix") & OMG they were so beautiful!!! I have a video up on my channel where I planted them up and a 2 month update if anyone would like to check it out!

    You said this was introduced to Japan in 794. So these are not the same morning glories from the Americas? What specie were the Japanese growing?

  • @leoarc1061
    @leoarc1061 Před 3 lety

    The channel did not touch on the therapeutic and risk factor of some species.
    I used to use morning glory seeds for meditation and introspection due to their LSA content.
    LSA is the "well-behaved relative of LSD". It produces some of the effects of LSD, but at a lower level, with fewer side-effects.
    Nonetheless, just like LSD, morning glory seeds can become addictive, thereby producing the same negative mental effects as LSD overuse does.
    For therapeutic purposes, two table spoons of seeds on an empty stomach, never more than once a month. I must repeat that it contains a potentially addictive substance which will cause a great deal of brain damage if abused.

    I 'liked' your video and it added it to my likes list BUT the icon on your button did not turn blue, nor did it raise your 'liked' total. I first noticed this phenomenon on November 9th with other vlogs I watch. Just thought you would want to know in case you see a decline in your vlog likes.

    As long as it stays potted. I can appreciate the flowers then but-
    I've had to pull way to much invasive morning glory, it likes to choke out native forest.
    Please be careful when planting morning glory, because they can really harm the enviroment.
