I tried buying some Drosera Seeds off ebay, and the seller sent me Persian silk tree seeds by accident. He is now resending my drosera, but I now have 20 silk tree seeds. The seeds were being sold as prospective bonsai trees, which I think is pretty neat, so I will keep 10 of them to try experimenting. These obviously aren't carnivorous plants, but if anyone wants to try growing these as bonsai they could look like this: or full grown like this: Apparently they smell really good, too. I did some googling after I got the seeds by accident. Anyway, if anyone wants some seeds for free, I have 10 to giveaway, I could do two gifts of 5 if a couple people are interested, or just 10 seeds if only one person wants them. I already have planted 5 seeds in a small pot, and within 4 days at least one seed has germinated that I can see. If noone is interested I might just plant the rest of the seeds out in the yard somewhere and if they grow, they grow.

Thats the one that's popped so far out of the 5 I planted. i could tell you what I did but I'm not very experienced so you'd be better off doing your own research. Two people have PMed me and are sending me SASEs

HI Curtis, I would like a/some seed if there is any available. I asked around the nurseries in the Spring for a potted plant but none was available. There is a full grown tree in a yard downtown, and it is supposed to be spectacular. So this is a great offer for my fulfilling my plant wish list. Will pm you.

It seems there were more interested than I expected. I have takers for all the seeds.

Here's a picture of my silk tree in the front yard. It is about 25' tall. It has been so hot here it started flowering the last few days of June where it normally does it the last half of August.
