Hi morning glory fans,
last year I inherited some morning glories and they were so pretty I have decided to try a few more varieties. The ones I already have are: Grampa Ott, a blue one that I think is 'Heavenly Blue', and a VERY vigorous pale pink variety with white seeds and short stiff hairs on the stems and leaves. I have traded for a few packets of mixed varieties and some yellow ones. I have a new chain-link fence where I think they would be very happy. If I plant more than one variety along the fence will they hybridize? I would like to collect the seeds next fall and I wouldn't mind a few hybrids but I would like to have some offspring that look like the parents.

Does anyone know where to get the purple ones with white markings? They're very pretty but I can't find a vendor who sells those varieties.

Here's a photo of an unusual looking blue flower from last summer.
