The first plant I ever saw was while I was in high school. WOW!! I thought I had found a new species of flower! Much to my dismay I was told by grandparents that it was simply a forest weed. I have admired it's beauty regardless and now I find indeed I can have it as a part of the garden I have dreamed of all these years. This is the first time I have seen the Blue,it is absolutely the most beautiful flower. Where do I get seeds or cuttings? The woods? Thank you for sharing these photos with us. jjlprimm

The seeds and plants are quite freely available from a number of companies, maybe someone here has some to trade?

It's beautiful. I'm in Atlanta, GA --- will it overwinter here? I'd love to have some seeds and will buy or trade with someone. I'll soon have seeds for Black-eyed Susan Vine (an old-fashioned plant from my great-grandmother's time), which some people say are hard to get. I don't know, I grow mine from seeds I collect each year. This is the time of year they're beginning to have mature seeds.

Baa I gave up on the them. The only one I have is purple haze and it just keeps coming back everywhere. lol The others I only get a few blooms from in my growing season so where not worth me trying to over winter.
