This is a vine I grew from seeds I bought in a mix. Anyone know what this is? It is neat the way the flowers extend from little curlies. The seed pods look like ligh fixtures. I`ll get a picture of a seed pod later when they grow some more.

Aw, how cute. How big is the bloom? I love how they bloom down from the curlie-que's, but yet hold their little "heads" up. I'll certainly watch this thread. I want one.

The first one who guesses it gets a free pack of 8 Ukigumo seeds.

...and a bonus pack of a handful of Tohoku Yea sunflower seeds (but not sure if these Tohoku Yaes make good seeds yet...you can try them) :)

It is a cute little flower about one inch and the little seed pods look like hanging light fixtures.

That would've been my guess too.... Would love to see that growing in my yard!

AuntB,you got it! The Ukigumos and Tohoku Yae sunflowers are yours if you want them. D-mail your addy and I`ll get them to you.

As far as the Ipomoea Wrightii it is making little pods but it will be a while before they are ready. I`ll be offering them for trades in the fall.

I have to get going...bye for now.
