Yes, thats the one, thanks very much!


Hmm I have three ipomea plants that looked very much like that with
the same pale pink flower and growth. Think |i got them from Johnson's
seeds.


Ipomea flowers are radially symmetrical (ie they look the same as you
rotate them, whichever 'petal' you have at the top, whereas the ones in
the pic were clearly bilaterally symmetrical - they'd look different if
you turned them upside down. So if your ipomeas were like he ones in the
picture, you were probably sold the wrong seed!
