And are you referring to mimulus or achimenes? Sigh, common names can be sooooo confusing.

Well, duh! I thought Teresa was asking about a type of petunia that I don't know. Guess not. I've never heard of monkey face petunia.

Ditto Woofie. Common names are too vague.

This is a Superbissima petunia from a packet of mixed color seeds.
I would like to find a good source of seeds for these and the old Giants of California.Thumb of 2012-08-19/CarolineScott/113340

Well, T&M carries the mixed Superbissima seeds. A google search for the Giants of California turned up this site, but I know nothing about them: http://www.crosmanseed.com/pet...
AND another site indicates that the Superbissima and the Giants of California are the same plant. Confused

Yes, I thought they might be the same plants.
I think that I got the seeds from Tand M---can't remember!
I thought maybe by getting from different sources I might get more variety.
Thanks for the site---looks like they will ship flower seeds over here.

The seeds from T and M are the pink to rose shades,
and I would like to get seeds for the strain that has some yellow in it.

I grew Superbissima a few years ago, but don't remember where I got the seeds. May have been T&M

Here's 2 places that specialize in older varieties

These are my mystery petunias. The pink ones were supposed to be Hula Hoop blue, the purple striped ones came from a package that was supposed to be Merlin Blue Morn. Pretty, but I wonder what they *really* are! Hilarious!
