Here's another one, I don't know how I got this border on it!

Gosh, Caren, another great vine.

ooooohhhhhhh, I want one of those too :(

Carena, I'm so happy to see this picture! Glad that it is doing so well there. It will give you many many seeds for sure. I think this season is the best for this plant here. There are so many flowers covering the vine now and it is a treat to watch the big blooms in blue!

Susan, I will be sending this clitoria seeds along with the MG today.

Thanks Dinu, I'm still working on yours but will try to get it out next week :)

Ohhh it's so beautiful! This one is a must have. Carena what can I say but....I am jealous lol.

Wind, I'll have to watch mine for seeds and you will have to remind me!

I sure will and thank you so much,if I have anything that you would like let me know.

I'll probably have a few seeds too, I have seed pods starting to form.

I know a lot of people are going to want to trade for these beauties, good luck with your seeds.
I am hoping to get seeds this year from the Corkscrew Vine. After last years no show of seeds I don't hold out much hope.

Carena, almost all the flowers go to seed. Each legume will have about 4-8 seeds. Allow it to dry completely on the plant till almost the time for it to twist open when pressed along the edges. Fully mature pods will get brown and usually makes a rattle when shaken lightly. Only then it should be harvested.

And don't lay them on the kitchen counter unopened, they fly all over the place when the pod twists open!(ask me how I know, lol)

Thanks for the warning! I'll cover the pods with a nylon pouch right on the plant so I won't lose any seeds if I forget to check them.

Yes, that is the best idea! But after a stage, you will have tens of pods and you require patience.

Are the seeds real tiny?

Is this a (Common Name) Corkscrew Vine? If not who posted a photo of the Corkscrew Vine?

Never Mind.... I found one...Windsurffer had it posted...Gosh I think she's got one of everything....sure is pretty....:O)

Thanks for the information.

Wind, I'm mailing them today.

Thank you so much, and did you get my email? Be sure to let me know if there is anything you want on my list so far. I will have more seeds to offer later.

That is just beautiful,Carena
