I have a question about a fairly mundane little morning glory, but one that seems elusive, at least for me so far - the PINK Cypress vine.

I have ordered seeds for PINK cypress vine from several sources over the years, reputable companies, people on ebay, etc. and it doesn't seem to matter where they come from I always get white, red and pink mixed blooms - not JUST PINK.

Is this inevitable to always happen or are these seeds just crossed when they were growing because they were growing red and white bloomed vines close to the pink ones? Or does this happen because the pink is itself a hybrid between the two so it will always have some vines revert back to the parentage?

I don't have time to go out and pick off the white and red blooms every day to keep the pink ones 'true', so what I was wondering is has anyone here actually grown PINK Cypress vines that did not have red and white blooms mixed in with them? If so, could you tell me where you got the seeds for them?

Thanks for any info you can provide!
