Ron, people have a terrible tendency of reading/interpreting things into email addresses or atavars. The reason I have chosen gofast, has not necessarily to do with the fact that I want to go fast nor jump the gun as we say in English. I just found it handy because I need to use various keyboards and passwords every day (for earning by bread an butter), so I use "gofast" often, which is easy to type in all the languages I know. My email address smarttranslator has also provoked all kinds of funny, but also annoying misunderstandings in the past...

In a nutshell, I want to catch my own fish, ok?

Back on the subject now: The photo I am posting here is not for beauty, but for scientific clarification. The big question that I have in the back of mind NOW is: Would these sepals have curled later on if I hadn't nipped the bud.

So perhaps, it wasn't a good idea to have rushed in the interest of science. BUT, I must admit I also cut it off because producing seeds would have taken a lot of energy from this small plant and I do want to see some more flowers...

What I have also noted, if this is a nil than it is either very exceptional because the leaves of a nil are normally hairy and softer in structure. There is some hair on the calix, but it is about 1/5th in length compared to Scarlett O'Hara.

Would it help to post a close-up of the leaves, Ron?

The original colour is dark blue turning into purple later on. So what's important: The colour we start out with or we end up with for a scientifically correct nomenclature?

So, can we call it: Ipomoea nil, kikyo, dark blue, single-flowered with picotee edge?

Thanks, Ron, for being so patient with me, I hope to learn much more from you. The sepal identification is a great help, but it's the borderline cases that makes it slightly difficult.

This one is atypical for the nils I have seen so far (I have only seen the blue silk and Scarlett O'Hara so far in my humble garden) because it's leaf structure is so much harsher, but this could have to do with the fact that it is a "dwarf"?
