Photo of Ipomoea purpurea X Ipomoea nil

Here is a photo of the seeds that I have collected so far that are not dark. Out of 68 seeds collected to date, 14 are lighter color. That's about 20%. Don't know how many more I'll get as I wasn't as diligent about crossing since the Blue Asago Willow wasn't blooming as much as time went on. But I did try crossing the Purple Flakes with other I. nils. Though all those have dark seeds. So I can't visually determine what may have crossed from those.

The larger seeds in this photo are seeds that may not have been completely dry yet. With the cold temps, I collected a couple of pods that were crispy brown but not quite complete brown on the Sepal and Peduncle (stem). I'm planning on buying some sterile soil-less mix today to plant a few of them.
