Queen's wreath, or Petrea volubilis, has long racemes of bluish purple flowers that resemble a wisteria. The flowers only last a few days at most. But you say this isn't what you have, right? Hmmm....describe the shape of the flower..maybe that will help. Does it look like a star...a daisy...a morning glory, etc.

The one called 'Alamo vine' is a type of perennial morning glory or Ipomoea sinuata. I'm not sure what the blue one is, but I'm working on it. :-)

yes had already found the alamo vine and do love it as it is a monster& like it alot.is a similar blooming morning glory type like it but is heat leaves called man of earth and have it growing back in woods too but not many seed pods yet but hopefully soon. and have still not come up with blue vine ID yet,been looking in rare unusual vine catagorys in online catalogs and ZIP yet...if find no name should be called "njoynit's headache"..LOL this is the longest have ever looked for info on an item and not found out diddly...almost 3 months now

yes bubble gum machine is a cool planter...still trying to figure what to grow in it for this winter though........ have a 3 section gray one for use next year& have plenty of those in pile at end of yard.
just seems SOMEONE would know this plant....was a seed trade& her e mail does not exist anymore was FL trade& shoot they can grow anything!
