I am looking forward to this one blooming. The picture the vendor used was the over-used Scarlett-O-Hara I know from ebay, but I can tell already that this is an ipomoea purpurea...and not a nil like SOH.

I measured 16.5 for the diameter of the largest leaf. This one may come in handy for crossing and also has lots of hair wich makes it difficult for aphid or ants but not impossible to climb up the plant. It seems to be growing a couple of cm per day and has now reached my washing line...
