Joseph the Silver Bells you sent me in the fall is just starting to bloom and I love it. It really has an almost metallic sheen. Only 1 of the 2 seeds germinated but the vine is quite large so 1 plant is definitely enough. Hope to get seeds and if so will send you some. Thanks.

| WOW Karyn!!! I am elated to see this JMG come back true its parent's flower traits!!! I hope you get a decent crop of seeds - my plant was way stingy in making seeds. Joseph |

| I've never seen a MG this color, very interesting! ~Tina Marie |

| Joseph I'm so glad that I got a plant from the seeds you sent. This is now one of my favorites. The blooms open early AM and just shimmer in the sunlight. If I don't get seeds I'm going to take cuttings and keep them in the greenhouse over the winter. |

| How are these beauties doing Karyn? :) |

| The vine is covered in blooms but Joseph wasn't kidding when he said it doesn't like to make seeds. So far I haven't had a single pod develop. There's still time so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'd much rather start from seed next spring then keep it going in the greenhouse over the winter. |

| Yeah, starting from cuttings just means you probably will end up with the same situation. :) Well... here's hoping you do get seeds, at least enough for your own personal garden Karyn! :) Good luck dear! Maybe eventually I'll be able to sweet talk Joseph out of some of those beauties. :P
Happy Gardening!

| The problem with cuttings is space in the greenhouse. I have to cram so much in the warmest GH and it's not that big, only 10' x 12'. I wish we still kept the big GH warm but that one is only kept just above freezing. It was so hard to go from a 200' x 75' GH to a 10' x 12'. I had to drastically reduce the number of plants that I keep growing over the winter : ( |

| Aww That'd be real hard to do. I just wish I had a greenhouse. LoL :D One of these years! Hehe Well, if you get bored, I'd so love to see pictures. ~Tina |
