I will be growing the Japanese-developed morning glory species and variety Ipomoea nil 'Blue Silk' again this year after a several year hiatus. This strain was responsible for my incurable addiction to this plant group.

Three of the seeds made a good root and I potted them a couple days ago.

They all look like they should make good roots. Is that Blue Silk in your avatar?
I have a couple of mystery vines from seeds that were lurking in the baggie I put some Heavenly Blue seeds to sprout. Probably Jamie Lynn, which will be just fine with me!

Yes my avatar is Blue Silk. You can't go wrong with the standards you mentioned.

blue silk makes a Beautiful avatar and looking forward to some new photos this year

And that is a truly lovely example of the blooms!

The cotyledons are variegated, what a treat to see!

Are blue silk usually variegated?

My previous plants were variegated, Deb. What has been your (or others) experience with it?

I don't know why, but blue silk is one I've never grown. I know I have some seeds, maybe I'll try it this year. The flower in your avatar is simply stunning!!

My Blue Silk has variegated leaves, I got it from Joseph, that's why. I think I will grow it again. And Mini Bar Rose. So many to grow, can't wait to see them each morning.

It is such a beautiful flowering vine, Blue Silk is, that everyone ought to grow it, and then get hopelessly addicted to this plant group! haha

I too am growing Blue Silk after not growing it for many years. Joseph...I am confused though on your avatar, I believe I sent you Blue Silk seeds many years ago from the original seeds offered by Park Seed. Blue Silk is a light blue flower with white border/edge?

Sandy

Ha ha, Sandy! Joseph changed his avatar in mid thread, so no wonder you're confused! Not sure what his avatar is now, but it's still pretty; just not Blue Silk.

That's funny but makes sense!

Hahaha Joseph works in mysterious ways. hahahaha
