Dany - Glad to see you are back from your trip! Love all the new bloom photos! :-)

Interesting comparison between your two Black Ipomoea batatas!

I have definitely noticed an interesting difference in not only vines but seeds of Sidare.

In the collage is a photo of seeds. They were all collected from the same Sidare vine just recently. I am also growing out some Sidare vines in a pot. Note the smaller vine in the bottom right where the arrow is pointing. That vine came from one of the smaller seeds. I sowed it to see if there was a noticeable difference. And as you and others can see ... there is!

I am thinking a smaller teacup/miniature Sidare. I thought that was kinda of cool and exciting since I not only love the Sidare but wanted a smaller weeping MG to grow in smaller pots. I will be experimenting further with this discovery to see how the smaller vine grows and blooms! Never a dull moment growing JMGs!
