Well, of course I can't find the envelope, and lots of things got shuffled. I know the only MG seeds I planted were named varieties. The leaves on this are perfectly heart shaped, slightly fuzzy, and are slightly darker green, right around the edge. There are a few buds, so hopefully I'll have flowers tomorrow. Any ideas??

Here's a picture of the bud. The stems are dark on this MG, if that helps.

I will, I just thought the leaves were a little different than most of the MG's I have coming up. Anxious to see the flower!

momcat - The species is Ipomoea purpurea and based on the purple pigmented stems and flower remains it looks like a 'Star of Yelta' type...
