Regina got these seeds for me from ebay I have searched for some for a long time. I took a chance and germinated a few of them. I got 2 vines, this one the stronger of the 2:
Excuse the weeds in the 2nd photo, it is summer in Louisiana and not much weeding can be done bc of the heat. I but a can reed in back of the headboard and the shoot on it is over the top and has started back down.

Gorgeous bloom, Sharon.
Okay, now I must add lavender moonflower vine to my list for next year. I just thought I had enough seeds and plants to take me thru next season already

Hello RenneP, welcome to the Stew, I love my lavender moonflower and have oodles of seed pods on it, I will have plenty of seeds for next year.
Thanks Droopy, I think the color is awesome too.
