I don`t think it is a Sunsmile. The vines are delicate, twining and a climber with no help,there is a red color to the vines and the leaves are light green with speckled variegation.

I checked this morning and it is about reaching the end of the vine at 4 feet tall. This one came in a mix of seeds off of ebay. I`m unsure what all the requirements are to be dwarf. I will say these are petite for sure next to Miko No Mai which is humongous and swollows up trellis with huge leaves.

The seller didn`t know what kind they were. It caught my attention because this one little vine stuck out like a sore thumb among the bigger more robust growing vines. This one was not even halfway up the trellis and sporting these delicate looking heart shaped leaves and the flowers had a papery look to them and they were all speckly in the blizzard pattern. When it isn`t rainy and washing them out the color catches your eye. Needless to say I was upset when it got attacked by bugs and I was glad I was watching it close enough to save the half eaten seed pods.

I might try growing some of these on my desk top for fun...if my cat will leave it alone..she has to make sure I know something belongs to her first before she will leave it alone LOL :)


Here is one last picture of more of the vine. It isn`t a great picture but you can see more of its structure.
