I just got home from work and am responding to this post first before I answer individual emails, so please bear with me....
Donna - Got your mail....
KillerChihuahua - LOL...all I can say is that (location is south Texas remember) it comes back every year from the wood if no pruning is done...Yes, I agree the IDing of this pretty vine IS complicated because there are so many out there - but I think we all agree upon that it is a "Strophostyles"...lol.
art_n_garden - Got your mail....
Bonnie - YW...and the method I used for germination is the same as would be for a sweetpea:
1. Nick seed and soak overnight.
2. Sow in potting soil depth of seed.
*** Germination should occur in about a week.
3. Plant when danger of frost is over.
Hope this helps....(Ü)

Here is a photo of mine from last year it was so pretty, the flowers just so neat looking.
And yet another shot of flower, unfortunately mine didn't make it thru our frost, but wanted to share photos for everyone to see.
Nice photos Laurrie..."I" would never survive your frost...lol.
LOL, well Pam, this time when I grow YOUR seeds, I am going to bring it into the garage late fall so I know I don't loose them tee hee
It's not so bad, but I am so used to it, I don't think I would know how to act if I lived in say Georgia or North Carolina again, Georgia was way too hot, NC was a delight but family was here, so back I came LOL
Hi I would be interested in any seeds if they are still available. LMK what you are looking for and we can make a trade. Thanks
I received some seeds today from a Mary in Texas. Is this the same vine we're talking about here? Let me know & thanks.
Judy - I have already mailed your seeds for our trade..but my name is not Mary, but I am from Texas....
Well, this one was labelled butterfly vine. Maybe it's that yellow-flowered one. Jeez, there is so much going on, here, I am getting dizzy. LOLOLOLOLLOL
Judy, that is definately not from me....lol.
i got your package today pam! thank you so much, i can't wait to plant them :D
art - YW and glad I could share.....
Hi Pam,
That's a very pretty vine you have, whatever it is! If you have seeds still available, I would love to trade or SASE. It's sounds like just what I need to cover a bare fence.
Thanks,
Angela
Angela - email me your trade list please.
thanks very much, Pam. My fuzzy-wuzzy-weed-seed- err..fuzzybean seed arrived yesterday! I can see them already, going up the west side of the house! Thanks!
Hey Pam. I knicked the seeds and put them in water then didn't have time to start them. I changed the water everyday and within the week they sprouted. I potted them up and just barely covered them with soil and have them under the light. The popped up over night. Yea this batch made it. Everyone might want to try this way with the clitoria vine seeds since they are kind of hard to germinate too.
That is a very pretty vine but by the looks of it, it looks far too tropical for me to be able to grow here in zone 5b. If I'm wrong, let me know if you have any seeds left - I'd love it if I could grow it here! :)
Hi Pam, I received the fuzzy bean today. Did I ever send you that white flowered Clitoria you wanted? Let me know & thanks.
Hi Pam,
Do you have any left and what are you looking for.
lmn
Thanks bunches Marilyn
Very pretty vine!
I would also love a couple seeds to try in Connecticut... if you have any left. I have some seeds for trade, & lots of rootings if you would like to wait for warmer shipping weather...Let me know!
Kooger - Glad you got them and happy growing!...(Ü)
Hey there Donna - great technique you have there - congratulations on the germination!...(Ü)
Karrie20x - Tis vine is definately more hardy than a sweetpea so you might just give it a try - it is a fast climber and started blooming in about a month for me...(Ü)
Judy - glad you got the seeds!...no, I haven't gotten yours yet but still waiting - I will email you if they are still not here by the weekend...(Ü)
Marilyn - I still have some left....I esp. like plants that attract butterflies and hummers...(Ü)
JRush - I still have some left...(Ü)
Here is the pic of seeds, finally got a good shot. These were from Pam :)
Sylvia and everyone try germinating them the way I did by accident as stated above. I got 100% germination. Also try some of the Clitoria this way. I am now
Good idea Donna, I think I will try my clitoria you sent me this way as well. Thanks!
