It is indeed a pretty color.<br /><br />@Walk2Write, Since you've caught a few typos and mistakes in the past here when I don't double-check my drafts, I'm really worried I made a mistake and don't see it. No, the seeds were given to me by someone in a trade about six years ago now and I just finally got around to sowing them this year. Funny that you mention the I. batatas because I drafted a post on it today. Aren't the blooms incredible? 'Blackie' has the nicest bloom I've seen of all of them.<br /><br />@Melissa, If they do ok in your area I'd say grow some! The seeds aren't that expensive and they're easy to sprout and grow.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-63381988309782717872010-10-11T21:37:48.857-05:002010-10-11T21:37:48.857-05:00Wow so pretty.

Did you really steal seeds and have a story ready to tell about doing scientific research? I've been growing Ipomoea batatas this summer in the garden and have already harvested twice. They also have beautiful blooms, which I didn't expect at all.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-49418278757400763412010-10-11T16:48:50.341-05:002010-10-11T16:48:50.341-05:00I love morning glories.

All these years I could've been enjoying the blooms.<br /><br />@Colleen, You're welcomed. Be careful though, it can get addicting reading all these forums and websites about Japanese morning glories. The Cubits morning glory forum is pretty good, although you have to register to see most of the forums. While 'Chocolate Rose Silk' is nice, I'd have to say that you're bound to see some really beautiful ones out there. I'm amazed at what hybridizers are doing with them.<br /><br />@Snarky Vegan, Glad you liked it snarky! I too like the color change as it ages. <br /><br />@Monica, Hater! :P<br /><br />@Webb, You're welcomed! I know what you mean I have some "pink" ones that grow wild in the alley that I'm happy to tear out with a vengence when I see them.<br /><br />@Ozark, Thank you for the nice comment. SummerHillSeeds has 'Chocolate Rose Silk' and 'Chocolate' morning glory seeds for sale. Although, I've never purchased from them before so I can't swear to their quality. In the last paragraph I posted a link to the website for "EmmaGrace" who you can also find on the Cubits morning glory forum. Look for her name (jmglvr) on Ebay. She tells me that she's going to put up her latest batch of seeds within a month. She has the most amazing collection of chocolate-colored morning glories I've seen. Way more than you'll find searching on Google images. You can also contact her through her website. I'll take the button idea into consideration.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-71601905359757752472010-10-11T15:53:20.822-05:002010-10-11T15:53:20.822-05:00Hello MBT!

Could you please suggest a place to purchase them? If you are willing to sell a dozen or so, please contact me. Thank you so much for this post and what a GREAT BLOG! I will be putting this on my sidebar for others to find too. It would be great if you had a button blog for others to use.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-69587297092982471222010-10-11T14:26:27.261-05:002010-10-11T14:26:27.261-05:00What a lovely plant.
