Emma - to reply to your question regarding if Ipomoea indica"Blue Dawn Flower" will come true from seed...They will come true relative to and depending on the parentage...if the plants are from the seed of a strain from e.g.,Southern CA,the resultant plants will tend to have a habit that is like the strain that they came from...but if you mix different strains together that come from different geographic areas,then the resultant offspring are going to be carrying genes from different strains and may show differences in form or flowering habits relative to the strains that are mixed together...I would like to get some of the type from Hawaii that has a lighter blue color than most with the semi-separated petals...

The Yellow from China could prove to be 'difficult' to bloom here...because they start to bloom in Southern Hunnan China during the late Winter and Early Spring there,so what the sum total of the weather conditions that trigger them to bloom in that area of China may be 'tricky' to reproduce those triggers here,but anybody who happens to get some that bloom easy(!) here(!) should share those...just a suggestion...

Here are some photos that plants from my seed are showing as far as the leaf and vine color and structure...they seem to be more of a trailer and require some 'guidance' to get them to climb...

A relatively young leaf showing the reddish coloration that gradually turns almost all green as the leaves mature...
