Another beautiful variety! Thanks for answering my questions, I always have plenty! Fourteen years, that is surprising and amazing in it's original meaning. Can you recommend a specialized commercial source in the US that would have a wide variety of Morning Glory seeds?

Jacksonville Morning Glory Vineyard has many different Ipomoea nil cultivars. He has a presence on eBay and also has a separate website. The seller is reputable.

I started the seed of this morning glory, species Ipomoea clavata, in the first year of the covid-19 pandemic. Three years later it made its first blooms. The flower was on the large side, and much to my delight, it was mildly fragrant, smelling a little like cocoa or hot chocolate aroma. It tripped me out hahahaha. It is a little known (at least in the USA) perennial species.

My mutant morning glory has been producing interesting flower forms. I like the unusual shapes in the leaves, too.

It's my pleasure to help with addictions hahaha. I probably have cultivars that Jacksonville Morning Glory Vineyard doesn't have so if you are searching for something in particular, send me a private message and I'll look in my seed stash to see if I have it.

Have you grown morning glories in the past, Joyce?

No, But some try to grow around my Heirloom tomato plants. Native Americans used them for Shade. But this year I will let them grow in a controlled environment to Bring Beauty to my Mini farmlands around the Areas in front of Forth Monroe. Native Americans Helped my People with the secrets of the Land. Especially the Native Americans who didn't leave during the "Trial of Tears". Especially the Native Americans in your Precious States of North Carolina & Virginia from my Research. They helped my Great-Grandfather get to Forth Monroe in the Hands of the Late General Butler.

But your Morning Glories Pictures are very Beautiful. They may be from Native Americans. I read this New Release this morning. I am Glad our Leaders are reaching out to the Native Americans to understand this Climate Change. https://mail.aol.com/d/list/referrer...XCFOwrs4Ej1fa0
They need our Help for their family, Amen!!
