Mt fuji fushia, just can't stop taking pics of this one and it just doesn't stop blooming either.

The seeds offered on ebay originated with a friend of mine in Texas and we at the time of the photo and seed distribution had 'joked' that some people would try to pass these off as "Summer Skies"...and low and behold...it happened...on ebay...

I personally grew the original "Summer Skies" and it has not been brought back...

Summer Skies had absolutely zero darker coloring along the primary folds and despite some well thought out or poised photos,the supposed 'summer skies' still has darker pigmentation along the primary folds...

Perhaps is was the lighting,but the leaves in the 1st photo look decidedly more yellow as compared to the 2nd photo...

The darker pigmentation along the primary folds indicates that this is yet but a lighter version of "Heavenly Blue" and not (the still MIA) "Summer Skies"...

Nice photos nonetheless...

Well I'll be you no what. Yup the seeds did come from the person on e-bay that claims to have the "summer skies" lost for all time bit and my friend fell for it.

The bloom in the 2 pics is the same bloom and just the lighting difference and a lousy camera that doesn't always give a good color. Sometimes the color is accurate in one part of the pic and not the other.

The lighter sky blue flower is an accurate color on the early morning bloom, but the leaves are not an accurate color.

For whatever reason, must be the angle of the sun at the time, both the flower color and the leaves are an accurate color.

Vine is growing far from what was described on the e-bay sale. Just a puny single vine, not any branching and has only had 3 flowers on it. all the same AM color and PM color as the pics showed in the pics I took.

It is a pretty flower though and pretty color blue, both morning and afternoon.

UNLIKE, my pink silk, which has now just had it's 3d bloom and is pink, pink, pink, not that beautiful blue.
I will save you some seeds of it if I get any pods and seeds. I do remember your instructions for bringing in the vines with the pods to ripen in water and it does work.

Here are the pics of the so called "summer skies" MG that went with the ebay sale. I have the ebay seller's name saved as wel.
