I had this pop up in the garden last year and found another today. I don't know if it's a variety I don't recall planting or if it's a cross with one of the hige varieties that I have had. The central portion opens a bit more but I took these pics very early in the day. Whatever it is I like it.

| Karen it looks like something happened to the bloom on an aomoraski. Where all the blooms on this vine the same? Fran |

| All the blooms look like this. Same thing last year as well. I have a few different solid color hige type plants. Maybe one cross pollinated with a Blizzard or something? |

| Karyn, I had some like that a few years ago from volunteers. I surmised that it was a result of Gypsy Bride crossing with "Emma's Gift", which was the only other purpurea in that area the previous year. None like that so far this year. Very pretty! |

| Karyn - Emma was the 1st person I know to get those... I can't link to the database but will paste some of the descriptive info here : Ipomoea purpurea I think "flaked hige" or "split petal flaked" are the most practical descriptors for those who aren't very comfortable with Romaji... Hope that helps... TTY,... Ron |

| Thanks Ron. That name is certainly a mouthful! lol I don't remember planting anything with that name but honestly that doesn't mean anything. I'm not the greatest when it comes to labeling my plants. On another subject, your recommendations worked. I have an open bloom on my MG tree this am and there's loads more buds that should be open soon! |

I just found another plant that's putting out blooms with that odd fringe. This looks like a common I. purpurea until you look at the back.   Ron here's the first bloom that finally held on my MG tree. |
