Xiong's Morning Glories

Toronto, ON(Zone 5b)

Hi guys, just recently germinated Xiong's a couple of weeks ago and their true leaves are starting to grow/appear. I've sowed 3 seeds: unfortunately, 1 got damaged by the cold and two are still standing. These two have different types of leaf forms though (first true sets of leaves).

Anybody who has pictures of Xiong's (blooms, leaves, vines, vine habit, roots etc.) are welcome to post here. I'd like to take notes on this cultivar and perhaps others.

Hypocotyl on both seedlings looks like clear red to me

One seedling's first true leaves:

Can't determine what kind of leaf-form yet as they vary at this stage I think

Second seedling's first true leaves:

Update: This seedling's second set of true leaves just appeared this afternoon and it looked like the ones from the first seedlings

Joseph, your seedlings here look taller than mine. Or is it just the way you took the picture (on macro/zoom setting).

Will post up more pictures soon
