I have heard of sweet potato vines flowering but I have never personally seen them. I noticed something odd on Blackie today and sure enough, it has flowers. They are kind of pretty but not exceptionally large or anything.

I had a flower on my marqurite when I first bought it, but no more. I think it may have been the season the growers had, I know they aren't common in the summer here.

WOW! Oh, man........I had NO idea. Ok, now I'm going to be stalking all four cultivars of my sweet potato vines! "Where's YOUR bloom??!"

Ok, so what growing conditions/fertilizing gave you that bloom, Badseed??
