and is it going to take over my world? It's very pretty if it behaves itself.




Buds begin to open just before dark. I have not plunged my nose into it to see if it's scented but the hummingbird moths are loving it. The blooms are about 4 inches, pale lavender with a purple center.





Immature buds waiting to open






Flower on left opened last night. I don't know if it opens again or not. The bud on the right will open this evening.






Close up of leaf. They are normally not spotted...guess some bug has been sucking on it.

Thanks for any info.

Brenda...after we got off the phone, I got to thinking and I *think* it is Pink Moon Vine Ipomoea macrorhiza. I went to the DB and checked the pics I added and the leaves ARE different then the white moonvine. I got mine from my friend Jackie. Hers is in the ground and does come back each year...I put the one she gave me in a pot and it didn't come back for me. Durn...wish I could remember how to make a link, but look up Pink Moon Vine and see what you think. Ginger

Yep...that's it. I did not remember the leaf shape. Did you sneak a seed over here? I did not plant it!

At first I didn't remember the leaf either. No tellin...could have tossed a seed or two your way

Forgot to add...you should submidt your pics to the DB...especially the one of the leaf

Thanks for sharing those pic's Brenda and Ginger for helping identify it. Its "Spectacular Vine" for sure! Ipomoea macrorhiza is one I will look up!

David...if you ask real nice Brenda might would collect some seeds for you, but then I can't speak for her

I collected seed earlier...I just have to remember where I put them...bahahaha. If I can't find them in my seed boxes I will collect more when I see them.

Haha...I will find my seeds and take a picture and post all I have in the data base so I can earn acorns....I spent the only 5 I had on a goat!.....

Thank you Rita!

Now you can get some other badges to go with that goat. But you are rich as ZuZu gave you acorns also. You see the ten next to your post above?

Thank you too ZuZu... I don't think I received a notice for your acorns or I didn't know where to look. I will have to learn my way around. I miss the plant world.

Rita...I may buy more badges or wait to see if there is another opportunity for a T-shirt. I love the one my friend gingin has.

Brenda...for shore the goat is the right badge for you wanted to see the babies, but too busy running my mouth. You should get a system message when you get acorns. You ought to add all the wonderful pictures of brugs that I know you have...plus write an article about hybridizing brugs. Have you been to the farming forum yet???

Oh, I see lots more new badges!

We have a Edibles and Preserving forum also for us veggie growers. I am there all the time.

Brenda you had a fun "shopping spree"
