Ipomoea tricolor |
 |
| | A typical example of the variety that self-seeds in our garden - a reader identified it as similar to 'Star of Yelta' |
We've had Heavenly Blue and its descendents in our garden for years now, but this is the first time trying a different cultivar. The former are a cultivar of I. tricolor, while Scarlet O'Hara is listed as I. nil. Depending on which web page you look at, Scarlet O'Hara may be red or purple, with or without a white throat - possibly because some of them were grown from self-collected seed (as we are doing now). I guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually develops.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Joey Edward Clarke | Feb 28, 2010 | Star of Yelta has been seen and recognized. This lovely flower brings us to wisteria land, with it's creeps and castles; AND of the cosmos, Yelta is a definite Ipomeoa installation of painterly intent. The way it can envelope the sun and sprout Artificial Realms of exact continuosity; It's a thriving genius!!
Hmm, if you say so... |
