Ron - Funny you should mention about growing MGs at my school. I was just talking to the teacher last week about doing that and she thought it was a great idea. We have a perfect brick wall at the school in an area that is landscape neglected. It gets full sun with some afternoon shade. My only problem is that I am worried that it is in a non-secure area. Adults and children go through this area all the time and I was concerned someone would try to dig them up to steal them. Maybe I'll grow some that are commercial packaged varieties and see how they do. If noone disturbs them, then I'll plant other cultivars. I never thought about growing one indoors at school. I'll have to look up Ipomoea indica to see what it looks like. My students are interested in everything! We already have a butterfly garden that we created and work on at the school. You should see all the butterflies we get! We even had a mother rabbit dig a burrow to have and raise her babies in our garden. Too cute!! It would be neat to try to do some crosses between cultivars at school and monitor the experiment. That also came to mind. :-)
