Ipomoea lindheimeri from an 11 year old seed. One seed, 1 seedling, I wad lucky. Now to enjoy it and try to keep it alive this winter.

Good luck with it Joseph...I may have a few seeds if it doesn't make it.

It is producing its first true leaf. It may make it. I want to see how big the fat root gets.

First leaf



Second leaf



Third leaf



Fourth leaf



It is funny to see how the leaf shape changed.

Looking forward to follow the progress Joseph...

Can anyone tell me more about the (lack of?) fragrance from I. lindheimeri? When I read on the subject - it seems there are a number of people who did not find scent with I. lindheimeri. Did they put their noses in the wrong Ipomoea?

I have found it to be very light in fragrance

Maybe those who could not smell the fragrance were smokers. I think the smell was faintly reminiscent of spices of some sort.

Thanks for the input Ronnie and Joseph. I have a small plant on its way - so hopefully I will get a chance to test it also....

Latest growth is beginning to show the typical leaf shape of the leaf.

A recent photo of this cute plant.

Leaf photos, showing variations on a theme.

Ipomoea lindheimeri is making new growth and flower buds after having lost all of its earlier foliage. I thought it was going dormant for the year.
