There were two beans in this one.. I already soaked them and sowed them.. what do you all think they may be? Maybe a pea vine, or snail vine?

Pink Starlet with beans on the side..

Don't we find little surprises. You know, you have to grow them out an post pictures. Nephey 2 and Nephey 3, right. I Now know what bean counters do. They count how many beans it takes to make a seed pack weigh what it says it weighs. Now we get to figure out what kind of bean it is that weighs the same as all the others. lol Oh wait. If I pocket 2 mg seeds per pack, all day, and substitue beans, by the end of the day I will have 5# of mg seeds to sell on ebay, and nobody will firgure it out. lol Frank

I've never heard of pink starlet. Is it a purpurea or tricolor morning glory?

fburg696,
You know, it doesn't say on the package. But they did germinate, so I'll try to take photos and have someone ID it.

I'm guessing tricolor, but do not know for sure. It is described on the back of the package as:

Striking sky blue flowers have contrasting bright pink stars.

yeah the familiar purpurea seedling that seem to just come from nowhere every year but I haven't the heart to pull them.the picture on the package is deceiving and I think I might actually have the pink starlet. there is a pale blue one with a pink star that came in a 'tall mix' package. I thought it might be tricolor from the pic.how neat:)
