Stumbled upon this on my morning walkabout. It's a volunteer and was able to capture the suggestion of color. Kind of looks like Rose Silk is in there.

Wow, those leaves are strange, curled inward like that.

I am so disappointed. I planted Heavenly Blue Morning Glories from seed this year and again they are not Heavenly Blue. Instead I have red ones and red ones with white lines.

I tried seeds as last time I bought Heavenly Blue Plants they turned out to be purple flowers. Seems like I just can't get blue morning glories lately!

Now that is odd, Rita! Where did you get your seeds? I've bought little cheap packets from the hardware store and (when I could get the little rascals to grow) they always came out right.

Just a seed packet I bought locally. Next year I will mail order seeds from somewhere. Probably Swallowtail seeds so maybe I can get the right color!

The red flowers are pretty. Its not like they are ugly or anything. I just wanted them to be blue ones as I planted them on a trellis structure I put up near my back door. And I planted Crypress vine next to them. Was thinking of a red and blue theem. Instead I have a red and red theem. Different shades of red that clash.

These lovely flowers are from @Gerris2 Joseph. Hard to capture the yellow in the folds but it is there. A lovely flower I'm privileged to grow. Thank you again Joseph!

Here are some Ipomoea albivenia flowers recently taken. I love the yellow in the primary folds.

Joseph so happy you got blooms or your Calystegia Hurray!
Is the Ipomoea albivenia a very large flower? I really like it, reminds me of the moonflower.
