Yes, to be honest I stopped collecting and planting seeds. The 2 years + wait before it will bloom scared me. i don't have the time to care for them for that long and I certainly don't have a place to store them when it gets cold.
I got my first seeds from my neighbors, she gave me half of her seedpod. I planted half of them and several rotted and only 4 survived because I didn't know how to germinate them. The 2nd half I had more success, germination rate was at least 70%. Then I got hooked and bought a few packets on sale (less than $1 to $2) seeds from BBB but my germination rate was high I ended up with now a total of 65 seedlings.
