Colin - I wondered about the blue because I grew Joyce Cobb 3 years ago and they were blue blooms! It's the only blue I. purpurea that I have ever grown: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/36532/

So I wondered if your blue hige was from JC. I would love to trade you seeds for some of your #1 and #10. I really love BOTH of those!

Some that I do not see here is the Pink Flaked and the Purple Flaked higes.
Purple Flaked regular shaped bloom - http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/56576/
See my photo of Pink Flake normal shaped bloom attached to this post.

I have seeds for the regular bloom vines of the Flakes. Perhaps these vines could be crossed with any of these higes (maybe the white) to get higes for those cultivars, too? I also have seeds for something that I call Pink Triple Feathers: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/38648/

And I am currently growing out both the Pink Flaked and the Purple Flaked together to try to cross those two to get a new Pink AND Purple Flaked I. purpurea that has all those colors on one bloom, That would also make an interesting hige! :-)
