I have more planted but haven't sprouted as yet. I'm doing mine naturally outdoors in the sunshine.

Hi Jan - Nice(!) to see that you have more started from the seeds that were sent last year...

The one I tentatively called 'Red Burst' has so far produced foliage that looks like Ipomoea hederifolia,but no flowers yet to positively identify it...let's hope for flowers...

The 'Xenostegia' is another tentative ID that may turn out to be a Merremia...looking forward to flowers...

All of the I.horsfalliae have turned out to be Ipomoea coccinea...

The Ipomoea crassipes has been grown out by a couple of others and has produced plants that twine,so still working on the ID...flowers would be a big help...

Let's see how well they do and if they'll produce flowers and hopefully some additional seeds...

TTY,...

Hopefully, we will get some nice blooms with a long growing season ahead. I'll have to go back to your orginal list and see if there's any possibility of any cross pollinating so I can separate them before blooming.

Different species of Ipomoea will not cross fertilize...with the exception of I.cordatotriloba and I.lacunosa...

Different genera will not cross fertilize...

The species that I sent to you will not cross fertilize with any other different(!) species...

So,there's no cross fertilization concerns regarding most(!) of what I sent to you,but there may be cross fertilization if you are growing out any other

Ipomoea carnea
Ipomoea coccinea
Ipomoea hederifolia
Ipomoea nil
Ipomoea obscura

No problem then, I'll stick to just the ones you sent for now. They're enough to keep me busy for now.
