Morning Glories: Is this Khokan?, 1 by gofast

In 2008, I had one SOH vine in Morocco growing on the trellis in front of my window, it produced tons of flowers and seeds...

It's great to know that there is s.o. in Japan even, I thought you lived in the US.

My interest in these vines was triggered when I was desperately looking for some plants that could survive the Moroccan heat, and one day I was overwhelmed by the types and varieties in morning glories...

Ever since then the MG bug has bitten me. Even though I am also interested in Amaryllis species and have started to make my own crosses, the MGs are so much more fun because you can have several generations in on year.

What was very fascinating, too, is that depending on the weather conditions one gets unusual colors because of the chemical process that take place within the plants.

At the moment I am studying or trying to find out whether there is a pattern in the different leaves that a plant has, like one of my nils is growing two-lobed, three-lobed and four-lobed leaves...

This somewhat puzzles me and I wonder what causes it...

If ever you need seeds from Germany, perhaps I can help.

PS. The above vine is now growing at a rapid rate on strings attached to the wall in front of my kitchen window.
