Hello,

I got these Morning Glories from a wholesale nursery. Bought 5 pounds of them for a relatively low price. They were sold as Flying saucers. Every Morning Glory enthusiast certainly knows that Heavenly blue and Flying saucer are the most common Morning Glories and the cheapest available.
I sell them in my web store, at Ebay and also at Daves marketplace. Now Emmagrace contacted me to let me know these aren't Flying Saucers, but Purple-Flaked Shibori 'Aomurasakizyouhatensibori' Ipomoea purpurea. She sent me a link to those and also to Flying saucers and to be honest, I don't see any difference. The seeds of those 'flying saucers' or whatever they are, just look like Heavenly Blue seeds.

I also have many variations on the same plant. Some blooms are plain purple, while others are plain white. I do not have pictures of those right now, but will make some, once they bloom again in those colors.

Can somebody please confirm Emmagrace's statement?
