Floridian if you have any seed on this vine to share for postage or to swap, let me know.

I'm trying to grow the plant now...I just collected it from an abandoned house in central Florida. Will look for seeds when I'm up there again in a couple of weeks. It sure is pretty isn't it?

I have this plant in my yard in MS. It is beautiful!! I noticed on another site that the plant is supposed to be a annual. But the lady that gave me this one, gave me seedlings that she says comes back every year! I guess it just re-seeds itself. I have really enjoyed mine!

I would like to vave this one and the bright yellow one. I have traded for seed but they are not the vine type as stated but the bush.

I saw this flower in a magazine and have been asking everyone what it is - - and now I know. I just love the shape of that flower, those 5 perfect petals and that little brown eye. I would be so grateful for a few seeds or cuttings - willing to trade or SASE.

Busybee, did you get the seeds? I'm sorry they were so few but it just hasn't got alot on it yet. I will send more as it gets more. The vine is beautiful! Hope yours does well!

Yes, I sure did. I had posted on mail call in my haste to reply. Thanks for all of the trouble you went to to send them. I am sure they will be beautiful.

Mine was very pot bound, I did not think it would live, but it looks like it going to make it after all.

I started this plant from seed and it has climbed well and is now 7 ft tall however, no flowers. I started it on Easter so, maybe it is too soon. Any ideas?
