Here is a Ipomoea pandurata caudex that is just starting to grow some leaves. This caudex was shared with me from Debra (Joeswife). Jackie has a thread here showing beautiful photos of her blooms, so I am quite excited about this amazingly beautiful vine!

Debra - Thank you again for sharing this vine with me! I know I am going to love it as it grows and blooms! How old is this caudex? (On a side note... unfortunately, the brug cutting didn't make it. The trunk got mushy and it rotted. I tried cutting it to re-root it, but it didn't recover. Thanks for sharing anyway. Some plants are more fragile than others.)

Jackie shared a few of her pandy seeds with me and I plan to start one or two of them, too! I am wondering if Debra's species and Jackie's are one and the same species or a little bit different.
