I posted this on the "identification" forum, but so far no one has been able to figure it out. Thought I would bring it over here to all the vine "experts" to gnaw on :-) Anyone have a clue as to its proper name? Seeds to anyone who can get it to me first ------- >>>> Anyone?
Thanks everyone,

Ipomoea ochracea
Merremia aurea
These are the only two kinds I know of.
Forgot to say that I've not had good luck with them. Never got blooms. Maybe our season is just too short.

Hi Brugie - I thought they were too, but after further investigating the flowers are much smaller. Here's a link to this site if you get the chance check it out and tell me if you still think it is the ochracea

Not the same - different leaves, sized flower and color, wouldn't you agree?
Ahhh...I'm at a loss and I know this is a common fellow, sure of it. It is a day blooming species if this helps.
Thanks for the helps so far,
mmseeds
Brugie,
In case the attached link doesn't work here's a image of the Ipomoea ochracea
Just not the same......scratching my head....
Your picture has two different leaves. Which leaves belong with the flower?
i have this and i bought it from Munceys organics. maybe they can tell you the name of it. i havent grown the seeds yet but glad to see they do okay. hope this helps marie
We also bought them from muncy's organics, but they call it yellow trumpet vine, nothing else. The top photo is the correct one we are trying to identify, the other photo was an example for brugie, okay rylaff?
Rylaff - also thee vine pictured in the very above photo does have 2 types of leaves, can you belive it? It is a true plant and not a hybrid either. So if that was your question thene yes there are two types of leaves "spade" and "fingered ivy" leaves on the very same plant. They alternate it seems. Anyone else out there have any ideas? Thanks,
MMSeeds
Definitely not the ochracea. Ipomoea Acuminata has both types of leaves. Maybe yours is something along the same line, but Acuminata doesn't produce seeds. Beats me. I'd sure like to get a few of your seeds when they are ready. Will you be selling them this year?
They are beautiful.. do you all have a site for Muncey's.. I would love to get some also.. MM will you be selling some? How wonderful.. I just love them. Antoinette
Thanks folks! I think it is a variation of the Ipomoea coccinea as a few of you have suggested. I'd be happy to send you some seeds as a way of saying thanks for the help you've given me with this. Please send me your address through this email link and I will gladly mail some seeds out.

We will be selling them as well, but as always I want to know what it is we are selling before I list on our site. Thanks for all the help so far, I really do appreciate it.

Muncy's only lists it as trumpet vine. I think you are right though about it being a
variation of coccinea.

Just looked at muncy's site and they only offer it now, in a mix, not by itself.
Do you have a want list?
I'd love to work a trade. My "thing" is vines. I have over 140+, so let me know if there are any vines you'd like to trade for some of those yellow ones. Personally I'd name them: Ipomoea quamoclit var. lutea, if it were up to me!
Anyway, I also liked your pinked striped ones on your link.
Nice photo of the mg's and sunflowers, too, by the way! I've always been told to try that, but never seem to get around to doing it. Your photo sure inspires me to try to do that next Spring, for sure!

They posted that one here a long time ago. Here's the thread http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/372263/
Hi Seedpicker,
Please send me your snail mail address and we can work out a trade if you like....we have lots of stuff for you to choose from.
Let me know what you want...
Thanks,
Dennis
Latest photo of the yellow morning glory that we have determined to be a variety of Ipomoea coccinea
You probably already know this, but fyi: Coccinea means "red". Lutea means "yellow".
I'm sure you'll find the correct name eventually. It took a year for some of us to figure out the correct Id for the "lavender moonvine"(ipomoea macrorhiza)-and not without MUCH debate, I'll add...
seedpicker_TX - Thanks! I knew it was related and yes I did know that coccinea is for reddish shades and alba is for white and so on, but I honestly didn't know that yellow was "lutea". I learn something new every day! I'm glad I joined Dave's Garden, you people are really helpful.
Many thanks again....
Dennis
i have the same "trumpet" looking vine in bright red. here is a pic of it, sorry its a bit muggy.
the flowers are about 1 1/2" long and about 3/4" across. it have a bright yellow center. it only blooms for about 3 weeks and then produces a few seed pods. each pod has 4 seeds in it that are much like hibiscus seeds.
i have a few seeds left if anyone is interested email me direct and we can trade.

here is a picture of the seeds and the seed pod. the pod is divided into 4 sections with 1 seed in each section. the plant goes from flower to green pod, then dried pod, and seeds are on the ground within a few days total.
very pretty plant.

Just found this(Ipomoea quamoclit "Star glory")
http://www.banana-tree.com/Product_Detail~category~12~Product_ID~524~StartRow~81.cfm
it describes a yellow strain...maybe this is the variety?
-seedpicker_TX
Wow, those are nice!! Very bright...
My first impression when I saw the photo was a variation of I. coccinea. I've seen photos of a strain that was reddish orange with a yellow throat like Nadi's, and I've seen photos of pure red ones. You sure found yourself a rarity, MMS!
Seedpicker, if you want jump back into the lavender moonflower debate, you oughta see the 40 page list of Ipomoea synonyms I found! LOL
