Dawn:
Very many thanks for the seeds.  Looking forward to sowing them.

With the sun shining brightly Wednesday afternoon, sowed (in propagator)some of the ornamental grass seeds of the varieties I sent you - some of them had germinated by this morning (Friday).  Hope you get equally good results (although they don't need a propagator once the weather warms up a bit)

Pls. let me know if there's anything from my orginal swap list I can tantalise you with - I will check whether I still have it and would be more than happy to then send.

many thanks!

Rox

Do you still have the following for swaps:
Gazania Orange Suprise
Lupin My Castle Red
Agastache Anisata

-----------------------

The only flower seed I have at the moment is Nicandra Physalodes. I had never heard of it before, we inherited it when we bought the house last August. It produces seed as prolific as Poppy and I have loads of it. Tried a germination test 10 days ago, seedlings were 'up' in 4 days and are growing on strongly, looks like 100% germination (a first for me ha! ha!).

Plant is a Hardy Annual and grows +/- 3 ft high with a spread of 3 to 4 feet, flowers are bell like and pale blue the seed pods look exactly like Physalis Franchetti.
