Mini we have some of these that are growing wild around here, I collected seeds last summer and plan to plant it with the others I have. I love the soft pastel color.

These grow rampant here,(TX). They are convolvulus (wild glory) ,sometimes called ground glory.

Call it "Cajun Belle" and enter it in the contest---------that sounds a lot prettier than Ground Glory!

Nice bloom...Ipomoea trichocarpa is the older outdated botanical name...Ipomoea trichocarpa is now a type of Ipomoea cordatotriloba...just thought I'd mention that for those who are interested to use the current botanical names...
TTY,...

Don't you love those taxonomists? You train your brain to remember one name and the next thing you know they change it.
