Grew this South Australian beauty from seed. Hal-any success from the seeds I gave you?

I sprouted half a dozen but lost them to aphids. Too bad, it's a great looking plant. Please save some seeds for me if you get any from the plants.
I put the Maihuenia poeppigii in the freezer for a few months and I have 4 or 5 of them sprouting now. Also stratified the lilies, but no sprouts yet from them.

Just awesome.
I would love to try these next year. How do you treat it?

Just leave it out in the hot sun. A little dry, some fertilizer.

The important question is how tasty are the peas?

The peas aren't edible. I sowed the seeds in March, I think. They grew very quickly.

If they're like everything else in Australia, they're probably deadly.

They look stunning! I bought a packet from Floribunda when they had this a few years ago but didn't get any sprouts. Can you share your seed vendor?

If you look carefully at the picture, you will see a little green tip growing out of the middle of each group of flowers. This actually can make a single flower, which sits above the circle. It looks neat-I just noticed it today.
