Perhaps Khabbab would like to grow from seed and then I'll be able to prick seedlings :D If he doesn't then I'll b wanting seeds.

Lovely blooms.
Izhar - I think you've sent me seeds from these plants but unfortunately they never germinated. I've got some seeds left, should i sow them again? I'm eager to get these plants after seeing the blooms :)
