Hi, Gene. Thanks for the welcome. I've tried a number of times to buy seeds of the Ipomoea platensis off ebay but could never win them. So I finally was able to buy a root of it in the fall. I potted it up and it started to grow. I don't know if this was the right thing to do, but I did. I have it under my plant lights. :) Donna Anderson Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene Zielinski" <eez55@earthlink.net> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [pbs] Newbie > Hello Donna, and welcome to the group. > Well...now we have at least two members of the group who are growing > Ipomoea platensis. > I have a question.
