Australian Transparent?

I just received these seeds in a trade and the trader really didn't know much about the., does anyone know anything about them? I thought it was a light pink rambler from the picture. The seeds were surprisingly very similar to my Sydney, which produces a light bluish flower and tan seed. Any ideas, I like it and will try it inside...

Hey Ronnie - Looks like a Pink Rambler

to me...

Ron does the PR produce light seeds?

Most of the light pink Ipomoea purpurea flowers produce light seeds,but I have relatively light pink I.purpurea that are from dark seeds...the flowers from the dark seeded form are a little bit darker but basically look the same...

The difference in the seed color of the light pink I.purpurea doesn't produce as much of a difference as is seen in the I.nil Tie Dye and the I.nil Candy Stripe Purple...the dark seeded Tie Dyes seem to carry for a blue and a purple flower whereas the light seeded CSP only carries for a purple which is very similar to the Tie Dye...

Perhaps at some point more precise comparisons can be documented for any relevant differences...

Hey, They are very pretty. I`d mark the flowers and check the seeds later to confirm that these make tan seeds. If they do then you have a pink rambler that makes tan seeds. Then I`d plant and grow more to see what happens later. You might or might not have a hybrid with some interesting possibilities. You never know until you sow. Karen

Thanks guys...Anybody in the warm climates want to grow a few for me?

The person Katlian who submitted one of the pictures reported the seeds were beige or tan. I haven`t seen any like this before. I think they are really neat. Karen

Ronnie - You can send me 2-3 seeds if you like. (Stick them in a regular envie.) I'll grow them out and we can see what blooms they produce with this generation. ;-) I do like the light pink color. Stands out nicely against the leaves! :-)

I would grow some but it is too late to plant here. I`d grow some next year if that was ok. Karen

Karen - You mentioned

"I haven`t seen any like this before. "

Do you mean that you haven't seen light pink purpureas with light colored seeds(?!)...

Katlian showed me her photos and described the plant to me before creating the PlantFiles entry...

Very nice!

Ron,

No, I havent seen them before in my garden. I haven`t grown any light pink with beige seeds. I didn`t even see them when they were traded on DG. I just foound out about them today.

I think you were nice to evaluate Katlian`s pictures and help with the plant files entry.

Karen

I, didn't get them from Katlian. I will ask my trader where she got them...

Ronnie, I want to say they look very unique, I have never grown any light pink with tan seeds and I would love to try them. Karen

I have both tan and black seeds of this bloom. They look identical like Ron said, only the black seeded one is a little darker. I never tried crossing the two, anybody want a pair to try? I could do maybe 5 pairs of 2 of each seed.

Eva - Nice looking purpurera...

The dark seeded forms tend to have more off a solid reflective surface as compared to the light seeded forms which have more of a tendency to have a quasi-transparent look to the corolla limb...

TTY,...

Ron

Eva, I would be interested in your dark seeds to compare the flower to the light seeds I already have...

Ronnie

Eva - I am always game for anything I haven't tried yet! Doing a cross between those seeds/vines sounds like fun! I don't see too many light pink MGs.

Done and done! I'll send them out this week for you 2 to try. Happy Harvest!

Thank you Eva!!

Me, too! Thank you for sending some my way! So kind of you to share! :-)

Hi if tan seeds means that the colour is the same as the light seeds to Sydney, so have I also grow purpureas and got tan seeds and black seed, I had to pink coloured flower and I suppose then that it was the pretty liht pink one which had the tan seeds, I only notice the two colour of the seeds when I bought the seeds!
Look at my pretty light pink. This ones I grow for about 5 years ago, no seeds left.

First when I harvest the seeds I thougt that the tan ones was defect, but as they sprout I understand they where virable and should look out like that.
attached picture from my new seeds bought from Thomsen & Morgan UK this summer.
