We are in the middle of September now and the season is winding down for many gardeners. Here's hoping that we all get lots of seeds from all of our beautiful vines before the first frost approaches!
When I first saw the photo posted by Seedsower in the PlantFiles, I was blown away by this cultivar. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/179067/ The blooms are large 5 to 6". The seed packet from Fukukaen Co., in Japan (purchased from Onalee's) shows a blue flower, but all of the blooms on my vine have been lavender color with splashes and ripples of white. Just stunning!
Well, today ... much to my absolute delight ... look what the blooms are becoming!!! Whoo hoo! This cultivar is outstanding!!! I bet the Japanese were just as excited as I am this morning when they first set eyes on this kind of bloom!
