Well, I believe I have figured out what happened. In between sowing my Keystone Giants and my Cali Wonders (separate containers), I left the room for a moment, and my son (3 years old) got into my starter mix and my seeds. He had made a huge mess with the seed starting mix, putting it everywhere. Either I had spilled a few cabbage seeds when I sowed them (just before the Keystone Giants), or he spilled some of them. Anyway, I scooped up the spilled mix, and put it back in the bag, then I used the mix to sow my Cali's. I must have put most of the spilled seeds into the container with the Cali's. And 4 days later, they started sprouting. I didn't notice how similar the seedlings for my cabbage and "peppers". The first leaves of many plants look very similar. I wasn't studying them, I was just excited that my "peppers" were up. I didn't think that anything was wrong. Anyway, I just looked at my cabbage and my "peppers" and I couldn't tell them apart, without the labels. Well, I guess it's because they are the same. I will be able to really tell very soon. I am putting the "peppers" into my cold frame and letting them go. If they can survive, as the cabbage should, they should start to get very cabbagy.

i have double white angel trumpet seeds :') but do i have anything that you'd like for them seeds?? ~medo

Thanks to all who responded--I think Susan's right. Maybe we just don't see the pods often enough on the vine to identify them easily, but the ones in the links look just like the ones I saw. The Annonas have leathery skin and a more solid feel than this did. It makes sense that it would have feathery seeds inside rather than something with high water content. The only photos I could find of Matelea seed pods online didn't have leaves that looked like this, or the same shape and texture. Again, thank you all for responding--this forum is terrific!

i have hardy kiwi growing. i can't speak as to how much the actinidia kolomikta (arctic kiwi, nice variegation) kind flowers, but it may not be as much as the regular hardies, and i don't think they get as big, but they do prefer partial shade. you probably don't want a regular hardy (a. arguta)- they are large vines that like to take over. they only bloom for a couple weeks in spring and i haven't noticed them being especially bee magnets. they do smell good, but you'd have to prune them 3x a summer to keep them in bounds on something that small. the fruit is yummy, though. issai would be the exception for the argutas- it's less vigorous, and as a bonus bears edible fruit without a mate. there's another kind called silver vine or something like that but i don't know much about it. fuzzies are as large and hardies, but more prone to frost damage. the vines have nice heart shaped leaves with red petioles. the problem is they put out around 20' of growth a year, and need a strong trellis- they are heavy. kiwis are not evergreen, either. aristolochias have nice foliage and neat flowers when they come, as does hydrangea vine, but i think both prefer partial shade and both are deciduous. remember, not everything that blooms will draw tons of bees. have you considered a rose? they are semievergreen here, there are lots that rebloom and are less care, and even some that are not so thorny (like lady banks, but i don't think it reblooms). i have a trellis that i walk through all the time with pink pillar, work of art and a rose colored honeysuckle on, and bees have never been an issue for me (and pink pillar is quite thorny). my conditions are similar to yours- it gets hot late aft sun and they've done well. vines & blooms will tend to be on the outside to get more sun, so i don't think that's as much of an issue as it could be, especially if you plan for it to be wide enough to accomodate the width of the vines when they've bushed out and still have room to walk. consider that you may want to mix a few things to get a variety of blooms, bloom time and foliage. that way you can kinda have it all. try to look at it as a fun choice, not a hard decision.
