Today I bought a strange but true plant. I got a heavily variegated bush form of Morning Glory from a series called "Good Morning". It has dark pink and white flowers and no long vines or tendrils. I am posting a picture of this because I have never seen or heard of these before. The flower in the picture shows a bit of the white border. The older flower which is hidden under the leaves {all the flowers seem to present this way} had more white border. Which is pretty strange for me. I try to keep up with new varieties. I looked it up and this variety has undergone a name change from Ipomea nil to Pharbitis nil. Apparently it has been around for a while. How have I missed this? It is going in my half basket by the kitchen door where I can look at it every day.
What have you bought that was strange but true?
