I checked the Ipomoea online and feel rather foolish :) The green varigated is - Sweet Potato Vine and the dark one with the morning glory like blossom is ---- a variety of Morning Glory :) Whatever the name, I'm very pleased with them, LOL. Checking further I find there are about 500 species of this plant. They do make a pretty, unexpected vine for spilling over pots and hanging baskets; the dark one is perfect for my little "forest" garden off my patio, tucked in around the ferns. An interesting color, full and low growing. Nothing there to really climb on but I will watch it none-the-less. The common Morning Glory on the farm was pretty but prone to take over anything it could climb on.
I usually check everything I'm not familiar with on-line before I plant it but this was such a cheap little plant I didn't bother :)
