Does anyone know where I can buy one of these plants?

Also, I have read that they don't have seed.  Is that a fact?  If not, where could I buy seed, please?

Wow that takes me back some years.

They were very popular a few decades ago and the flowers looked just like prawns (or shrimps depending on your location).

I bought one and the cat ate all the flowers

Odd that. The cat was never a nusiance when we ate but on the rare occasion we could  afford prawns (they used to be a luxury) she always cried for a share.
