Dany - Just beautiful each and every one of those blooms! Fancy little French Can Can!

You sent me 10 seeds from a Japanese mixed bag of 50 seeds. You did a good job of sorting out the I. nils in the mix from the I. purureas, I. tricolor, and whatever other Ipomoea seeds were throw into that mix. Out of the 10 seeds, 6 germinated. Of the 6, 1 died. (It was literally growing upsidedown. Flipping it around didn't save it because it had already started to rot.)

Now, out the 5 remaining, this one has very light yellowish-green leaves. But look closely ... there is variegation of darker green on the light leaves!!! I thought that was pretty cool!

I've not seen this before. Usually it is darker green with the lighter variegation. I don't have any clue as to what the blooms will look like from the seeds you shared with me, but I love a good suspense story as it unravels ...
