I bought a pack of seeds from a Portland, Oregon nursery through E-Bay. The seeds were supposed to be a species of morning glory botanically known as Operculina brownii. They are not morning glories at all. I suspect that they are instead seeds of some plant in the nightshade family. The seed was about 1/5 - 1/4 the size of a bell pepper seed and flat-sided.Tiny and kidney shaped. Its color is very much like that of a pepper seed. It was stubborn about germinating and apparently needed some light to do so. Here are two images of that plant. It has started growing rapidly. Yes, it does look like it is beginning to vine. Thank you. Rex The first image shows how this plant looks ( 26 February) now and the second is the picture I took on (6 February), just 20 days earlier right after it came up.
