I'm a foliage fan also, Frank! I've been collecting various Ipomoea nil mutations that modify the foliage...shape, size, color, variegation, substance, texture, etc... The neat thing is that they also often modify the flower form. I have learned that there certainly is more to appreciate about these plants than their beautiful blooms!

Keep posting those pictures! It gets easier!

Here is one of my favorites from last year, showing four colors of variegation and asymetrical shape caused by differential growth from the degrees of variegation. I've got 10 plants this year from seed of this plant to determine its repeatability...
