I thought it looked like the lavender moon flower too Paul... I don't know on the seeds. I am thinking it doesn't for some reason...

It looks like lavender moonflower but the blooms are smaller and the foliage is different.

Ronnie, Butterfly Chaser's plant made seeds. That was yr before
last. Yours might make seeds later on in the season.

I hope so, I have never had luck storing the 'taters' over the winter.

Nice flowers Ronnie,
I was just thinking of something... , sometimes when I didn't know better,,lol. used to put the regular potatoes in the frig veggie drawer and they would even root in there when they were there so long.. (how embarrassing is that) anyway, maybe it would work over the winter, leaving them in there for a couple of winter months..lol. you never know.

The flowers at this house when we moved here had lots of seedpods, but I've already given all the seed away. Then they froze. This year I got four of them and tey were already blooming at Lowes and Walmart here when I purchased them, the first time I ever saw them bloom to tell the truth.
