Kyle,

Did the two vines have different colored flowers?

The white/lavender one has flowers in large terminal racemes with the buds 
curling toward the tip.

The purple one has smaller clusters in the axils with the buds curling back 
toward the stem.

LOL Hey Henry...

The Nursery I work for bought both of the vines several years ago....though the 
foliage looks different the flowers looked almost identical and we couldn't 
tell the difference...and you're correct in being yet more confused after 
searching the internet for assistance!!

Mainly its the foliage that differentiates the plants...thats my story and I'm 
sticking to it!!!

I know it is not a rock garden plant, but do any of you grow /Vigna caracalla/?

There seem to be two quite different plants being sold with that name.

Trying to figure it out from internet searches only further confuses the issue.

Any help in sorting this out would be appreciated.
