Convolvulus Confusion

Insanity runs strong in my family. I won't name the others who have it to preserve their dignity, but you know who you are. Enough said.
I think it may have been a bad idea to buy starter trays that have 200 cells in just a 10" by 20" area. Herein lies the root of my problem. I saved convolvulus seeds last year, so I have many. MANY. And you never know how saved seed will germinate, so I started 200. I mean, I HAVE the tray... and the cover fits nicely. And you can't put a variety of plants in there, because they may have different germination rates and requirements.
How exciting. On March 19th I planted my little seeds. March 23rd I had 54 seedlings up! March 24th at noon I had 72, and at noon on March 26th there were 110 (shown above). Seems they were pretty fertile. Notice how the little leaves are shaped, compared with the mature ones, which are a beautiful heart shape. And the little guys get right to work growing - about 2" high within a day. They are in the same family as the Morning Glory, for those of you who think that that is what they look like. You're right!

Now these lovely plants will either climb or trail, and I was inspired by a speaker at our last garden club meeting to put them in hanging baskets. They will both climb up the hanger and tumble over the edges.
There is just no describing the beautiful deep purple blooms with light throats. You have to see it for yourself. Anyway, as I said, they climb. Last year the darn things intertwined among themselves before I could even get them into the greenhouse. So this year I will be putting them in baskets and pots (and empty milk jugs and tin cans and a variety of things if they continue to spout) and give them a good start in their final homes.
They do not get as full as say, wave petunias, so it will take a fair number to make a basket look full. I think I will throw something white in with some of them for a most striking display. And speaking of white blooms, it looks like my alyssum are going to start blooming any day now.

And look at the great little pots I picked up. I think either portulaca or Livingston daisies would look fabulous in them. They had them in blue (instead of the green) too. I think I may go back and get a couple of them. I just wish they were a little bigger, they are only about 7" across.

When is the snow supposed to be gone?
