Cats are really aliens and they have come to study us ...they have weird mind powers...beware !!!

The reason they have not taken over they found it easier just to make us their slaves.

This is totally believable

If you want some huge lantana come down here and you can dig them up and I would be glad. Theyare weeds. I have been trying to kill one for years.

I would love it

Allison--how do you overwinter your lantana?

These where all planted by birds.

in the basement under lights.. fighting mealy bugs too.. but I won!!

cinda, I think I know how to collect seeds from scabiosa..just clip off the dried flower pod and rub it between your fingers and the very tiny seeds are there? Am I correct?

SCORE!

My one surviving Delphinium (Pacific Giant from Botanical Interests) put out lots of medium-sized black seeds! They even seem mature, if rattling around loosely and pouring right out of the dry, brown pods when I tip them over means anything!

But I had better try germinating some to see how viable they are, before offering or trading.

BI says "stratify 2 weeks", and "1/4" deep and "needs dark". I've seen reccomended germination temperatures of 50-55F and 71-75 F, and "peaty" soil mix.

Pippi,
Scabiosa seeds look like freaky aliens with weird hairs

yes they do

But such neat looking seed heads!

I have been collecting Hollyhock seeds of every color I own.

I need to get some black ones.. they are so neat

I'll send you some.

Those are some beautiful colors, do they cross pollinate and give you new shades every year?

thanks Celeste!!

Thanks Cinda, Yes as a matter of fact the yellow with peach in it is one i've never seen beore:) and the Peachy-pink with yellow in the middle is one I did not buy, appeared 2 years ago.
One of the darkest

If you would like some, just send me a email w/your addy and color choices. If you want all colors thats fine too...have a bag of mixed ones also.

Anyone have any luck collecting seeds off Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy? I have some growing and would like to harvest some seeds, but I'm not sure when to snip the seed heads.....and it's supposed to rain soon.
