Vigna Caracalla ‘Corkscrew Vine’

I was cruising another site and found 10 seeds for the snail vine for 3.50, plus shipping of course. I went a little further and realized that they also had the corkscrew vine, 5 seeds for $10. I thought I had found a deal, but the plants are close in appearance. I thought the flower was just a little more open.

I was looking to get the variegated pokeweed seeds. The site at the link is full of unusual seeds, so perhaps you can order enough to make the shipping worth it. There are quite a few on my list as I cruise around, such as the blue picotee morning glory!

With the pokeweed plants, I am invaded. Finally, I have decided to join them and introduce more foliage variation. They grow so well! Someone also posted how to trim them into smaller, prettier plants that look very nice when they berry. I find the tall ones quite unusual and very attractive! (Fewer than 1,000 plants would be nice though.)

Yes I have a shell plant. I was amazed how beautiful this has grown. In NJ we had a late summer and it started to bloom in august. I am going to bring it indoors I sure hope it thrives. It is one of the most beautiful plants Ive seen in a long time
