Maybe we can ask Admin. to make it a *sticky* so it will always be at the top, or do we have a moderator who is able to do it?

Yes, great idea Ronnie & Lin.
Or you could put the reference information on the left side of the forum. Like this.

LOL, I see it on the right side of the forum ... either way, I think admin. or a moderator are the only ones who can do it.

I wanted to add them to the side but didn't know how
I did volunteer, but haven't heard yet...I do think we could use more than one moderator.

I think a few forums have co-moderators so hopefully someone else familiar with Ipomoea will step up and volunteer as well!

As soon as a moderator/moderators are chosen then you will have the ability to add information to the right side of the forum.

Super great info Ronnie and Joseph !

And very useful with the list of fragrant Ipomoea - thank you Ronnie
I have seeds of I. lindheimeri (and found a source for seeds of I. albivenia) - but if anyone can direct me towards seeds of some of the others on the list I would be thankful. And it would be great to hear of any experience in growing day-time fragrant Ipomoea's under non-tropical conditions....

I found this website that is useful for translating Japanese Romaji terms into English.

Take for example, this morning glory Romaji name: Ki Fuiri Semiha Asagishima Tairin.

If you enter the Romaji word Tairin, the relevant term in English is Large-Flower. Fuiri translates to variegated. Ki translates to yellow.
