Hello,
I think the plant in question is one of the smaller blue yojiro types with a lighter than usual throat and lighter yojiro rays ...the heart shaped leaves I have seen before in the smaller yojiro types,but have only seen the larger Mt.Fuji in a heart shaped leaf form on a few Japanese sites that didn't translate well into English and I was not able to contact the posters of the plants...also considering that the yojiro types are a hybrid of Ipomoea nil and Ipomoea purpurea,it should be no big surprise that the leaf forms most usually associated with those species will come out eventually...additional variations in any part of the plant should also show up 'sooner or later'...
As to "Where is Ron(?),"... the answer is just not usually interested to post to the regular forums,more interested to respond by a private e-mail or to respond to pictures posted to the database(!),my choice(!) regarding how I prefer to share(!) and communicate...is that choice how I enjoy the GardenWebs allowable, acceptable and okay(?!)...I would hope so..,just like people like to pick their fights,I am 'picky' about what I feel like responding to,so there is my general disclaimer as per that aspect,...but, regarding the questions presented here,my view is as follows...
My experience with the Ipomoea nil mix "Early Call' is that the I.nil types contained in that mix will almost always have a trilobed leaf form,but,the gene for the heart(cordate) leaf form is (!) floating around in there and so heart shaped leaves can come out of the various "Early Call" mixes as offered by many different outlets...also heart shaped leaves may or may not show up in the first generation of seeds from the packet...It seems that only relatively recently that more people are actually becoming more interested in looking for 'different' leaf shapes and this may be contributing to the perception that all of the Ipomoea nil are trilobed,especially when grown together in an intertwined mass with other MG types...;
I have found that the colors that I have gotten over the years out of various "Early Call" mixes can vary...alot...I have gotten blues of dark,medium and light blue as well as different shades of most other colors that can potentially come out of an "Early Call" mix...I think the variables(!) are more prevalent (!) than what many people have come to accept as unvarying limitations...another version of the 'urban myths' as I see it...
The 'Chocolate/Rose" 'can of worms' is one that I may be interested to go into 'another' day...;
Hoping that my input may be of some value worth considering...
'That', (Emma Dearest, you have such a way with words!)..
Ron....

P.S. attached is a recent picture of a blue with a nice pure white throat,that came out of an "Early Call' mix...similar to what Stacey was reffering to...could this be the proto-type(!) that was used to create such monoliths as "Hama no Sora" and/or "Akatsuki no Umi"...(?!?!)....The 'true' answers may reside only within the limits of your imaginations(!?!)...
