I had these last year but lost them when I brought them indoors. I do love them and plan to purchase another one. This time I will have enough light to keep them alive because we can take the window air conditioner out of the window which was blocking so much of the light they needed. I had no idea that they had flowers and would love to see a picture of yours when they do bloom.

I have never had one bloom. Boo Hoo. I can send you some cuttings. I have too many babies to transplant them all. I don't have enough shade for a "hog farm."

OOOOOh If you have a few seeds or a seedling or two, I would love a blue clock vine. I have black eyed susan that blooms all year and would give a blue thunbergia a good home. Have much ugly fence to cover.

I am sorry but I don't have any seeds or the plants this year. I will share my dbl blue picotee morning glory with you as soon as they start blooming and giving seeds. This is one that didn't get the chance to fully open due to heavy rain and winds here http://davesgarden.com/t/387398/

What a beautiful flower! I would love to have seeds. I wonder if they will stay all year here. Many morning glories do. A girl can hope.

This assumes that I remember. I suffer from "mental pause" you know.
