Hi everyone,
This is an addendum to my original post about Korean morning glories. I'm a Princeton, NJ native who is currently living in South Korea to visit relatives and teach elementary and middle school kids English. I'm dying to start a spring garden here with "American" seeds as the variety here is rather sparse. I went to the Seoul flower market on Friday to replenish my supply of the wine colored Gloria MG and found a 3rd packet of MG you might be interested in. This one is also a Pharbitis nil., but it is an assortment of different blooms. The merchant told me that this is the most common type of morning glory grown by Koreans, so I thought I would give it a try. I bought several packets to trade with my gardening friends in the USA so I'll post pictures of all three packets that I have available here:

Pharbitis nil. assortment - a variety of blooms and foliage types from this packet

Pharbitis nil. Gloria - deep purple/wine colored blooms with a white throat

Pharbitis nil. Choisy - an assortment of large blooms with variegated leaves.
I'm looking for heirloom tomatoes, chile peppers, flowers, brugmansia seeds, Japanese morning glories, and the unusual.
Thanks!
Elizabeth
CLOSED: Have more Korean MG's to trade!
Thanks to all those from Europe and South Africa who've replied to my posts, I welcome all trades, especially from outside the USA.

Oh, & I meant to say, Princeton. Im from NJ also, I was born & raised in Edison & after moving to Sarasota FL, moved back to Iselin, Nj for about 15 years. But right now, I wouldn't trade TX for anything. It's really weird. I didn't feel like that in Fla. I think it's the country thing I like!
