One of my self assigned weekend tasks was to clean up the area where I grew out 10 different plants of Ipomoea cordatotriloba. This was an area that I didn't pay too much attention to early in the season, so all the plants grew intermingled! I did not try to separate them so decided that I would just save some seed as a mix. Actually, I did segregate one plant as it was unique and not related to the others.

The plant I segregated was from seed I collected in Murrells Inlet, SC. The flowers are smaller and a darker pink http://davesgarden.com/community/journals/si/149221/ than the local selections http://davesgarden.com/community/journals/si/131564/ I grew. The seed pods are a lot different as well. Many of them were split open (they split open in quarters not thirds like I. nil) and were precariously showing their seeds. This observation prompted me to get the camera......

The seeds are actually almost black, but the primary light in the picture was reflected off of my hand, which changed the color some I guess.
