Hello Donna, and welcome to the group. Well...now we have at least two members of the group who are growing Ipomoea platensis. I have a question. What do you do with the plant over the winter? I started mine from seed this spring. It is growing outside in a small pot, and our frosts are now slowly killing the leaves. I plan to take it indoors soon, and I'm wondering if it should be stored dry. (Maybe Alberto C. can provide some information, too.) Regarding caudiciforms, take a look at Gordon Rowley's Caudiciforms book. It has photos of lots of interesting species. As for pelargoniums, Silverhill Seeds has a very nice selection.
