Summer Skies Finally Blooms! L@@K

Birmingham, United Kingdom

This is the thread you have all been waiting for, summer skies finally blooms from my ex-1993 seed.

The only thing is the one plant that has bloomed seems to have yellow marks on the leaves, I have checked for red spider mite but nothing .

My other plant that is inside does not have it but is slow to bloom.

I have noticed they seem more temperamental towards temperature and only grow well in a pot against a hot wall and they don't like wind.

There has been talk about the seed being looking like blue star, these seeds are a rust colour not black and the seedlings and stems have no red pigmentation.

I have fed my plants some epsom salts and miracle grow to see if it a magnesium deficiency they should still set plenty of seed to go around and share for SASE

This is what the seeds look like; they do not look like HB or BS

Compared to normal HB seedling which is here; I hope everyone can grow this one in 2010 to save it from extinction, ideally it needs some experts with perfect climatic conditions to do grow outs and share amongst themselves freely

Rareseedman, The vines from the trades you sent out to me and others when you first signed up here are thriving. I hope for blooms soon. Karen

Ray, what about the foliage.
Is it a " Anaemic " foliage ?

With this cultivar you ' re close to get the yellow tricolor.LOL
I thought that Summer Skies is clear blue.
