I took some photos of the four most commonly sold morning glory seeds to help anyone who has wondered what they may look like. I must note as a disclaimer that I don't claim to be a 'professional', I'm just posting photos of what I have and relaying my experiences with each. If anyone has anything to add to this, or feels I'm in error, don't hesitate to do so. (Like no anyone would, anyway!) :-P


My first photo is Ipomoea alba, 'Moonflower'. The seeds are generally an ivory white, but mine have turned sort of a gold color from age, and I've had some that were more brown. I think the brown seeds mostly have to do with how 'green' they are when taken from the pod. I took some out of a pod that wasn't completely dry, and they dried a darker color than the ones that came from totally dry pods. They're one of the largest Ipomoea seeds, and easily recognizable.
