Janet, I know your hibiscus, but can't remember the whole name, but it has "flimming" in it.Thats a doumb way to leave it, and will try to find it in the mean time.Yes, I have 2 OZ. left of the seeds, and will be glad to send you some, however I'm not so sure about direct sowing, because I have never seen a seedling comming up around the Tx stars.They have had plenty of seeds fall around the area, and all I have is the six mother plants in well composted soil.I grew mine back in Jan. inside, and I have some of the seedlings in pots, of the red that I would spare for you.I think I sowed my seed, along with some white Tx star just to see if my seed was viable, and it is, but don't have the plans for the red that I do for the white.It was a trade from another seed trading forum, and I got bit, he sent me 12 seeds, and I sent him an ounce.Not complaning, I have 8 healthy plants, and plan to contrast the red, and white.

Here is a pic of the texas star:
