Oh! That website is my fave and is the first one I hit upon when I started looking for creepers as I was not good at identifying plants, creepers, and shrubs (I'm still learning... getting better I guess)

The last creeper was actually almost completely dried when my mom got it from my aunts' and I thought it wouldn't survive as the few leaves on it began falling off, but from the past week it began giving out sprouts and I was almost jumping at their sight. It is called Sampangi in our regional language, but again there's another Sampangi which is a shrub - Ylang Ylang (http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Ylang Ylang.htm...) and I cannot find the botanical or common English name for this creeper Sampangi

By the ways, I went to a local nursery and bought few seeds and plan to study a bit about how to plant each before I get my hands dirty with mud. Here's what I got:
> Dahlia (Decorative Double Mixed)
> Clarkia (Double Mixed)
> Chrysanthemum (Single Mixed)
> Marigold (Gigantea [Pygmy] Double Mixed)
> Candytuft (Hybrid Mixed)
> Amaranthus (Finest Mixed)
> Poppy (Shirley Mixed)
> Calliopsis (Single Mixed)
> Balsam (Cameliafid Double Mixed)
> Helichrysum (Mix) --> The Strawflowers
> Sweet Pea (Mix)

I got no idea what the words in brackets mean. If anyone of you have any suggestions, tips & tricks to plant them, grow, them and maintain them, my hearfelt thanks to you all :)

I'm just so excited that I simply wanna pour them on the soil, but wanna do some study on them before I actually get to doing it.

By the ways, I also planted two cuttings from Oleander Plants that a friend of my mom gave me yesterday and I still have a Jasmine shrub to be planted (which again was given to me by the same person), which I think is the Arabian Jasmine 'Maid of Orleans', but lemme get a pic of it tomorrow and let you experts to correct me.

And did I tell you about the betel creeper? Here's the pic...
