| I ordered seeds of salmon shades black eyed susan vine from Thompson Morgan. The leaves are large, light green, very hairy and have concave bumps that make it look like a toad...the leaves are shaped like a fleur de lis. It has not bloomed at all yet. This does not look like any black eyed susan vine I have ever seen, nor like the picture in the catalog. Did I get something by mistake? Anyone grown this before? |

| I've grown several varieties of Thunbergia alata, including Salmon Shades and all looked pretty much the same except for the bloom color. The only real difference I noticed was that Raspberry Mousse, which I got as a plant, not started from seed, has never produced any seed pods. Can you post a pic of your vine? |

| Thanks, Karyn1. I looked at lots of photos and what I have is NOT thunbergia alata...guess if it ever blooms I may figure out what surprise they sent me. Hope its purty! |

| Well, it turned out to be picotee blue morning glory! Looks nothing like a morning glory with big tripointed hairy leaves and thick stems. Quite a surprise! |
