Default a Look Alike

This looks like a B. Nodosa on steroids. It is actually Bl. Wonder Star. (Bl. Morning Glory x B. Nodosa) The difference in the flower, that I can see, is that it has a span of six inches and does not have the typical pointed lip nor the spots in the throat.

The other plant is a recently named hybrid, Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom (Neo. Falcata (Amani) x Asctm. ampullaceum. As you can see it is a profuse bloomer that produced six spikes ranging from nine inches to four. It inherited the Neo. spur but it is very short. Unlike some of the Neo. hybrids, it blooms in the spring only.

Nicely done, Jerry. I really like the 'controlled substance' one.

I like them both. Great culture, as usual. Are they fragrant?
