I missed the flowers

I bought some seed from JLhudson last year and it said the morning glory seed from this variety is orange. Well, I planted the orange seeds and later on found several seed pods that had opened and three or four (can't remember exactly) orange seeds were dangling from the opened pods.
Now I am curious if anyone has this variety and if they perhaps have pictures of the flower itself. It must have been one of the smaller varieties of blooms as I missed it altogether.
The plant itself did not do too well having met up with the after effects of Katrina. It had no leaves left on it when I found the seeds. So the only description I have is that the seeds are a really pretty orange.

I believe Ron has one called 'transvaalensis orange seeded' http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/86347/ could this be it? His had (I think) 5-lobed leaves and purplish flowers, but he could probably tell you more.

Hope that helps

Ok, now I think I saw the flowers. The problem was that I planted it by the wooden fence and it skipped and went up my crab apple tree. I did see a blue flower in the tree but assumed it was one of the wild ones we get here.
Now I will have to get the ladder out and see if there are any latent seeds up in the tree. LOL
Next year I will move the pots away from the tree and see if I can actually enjoy the plant more.
That name does sound like one that I ordered last year.
Thanks

If there are seeds waiting up there, could we trade for some? Interested in trying this varriety.
