Thanks Toxic, rylaff, and sassytiger! The flowers look pretty blue in this picture, but they are actually bright purple. I've posted a picture below that shows it's true color in the sun. Sassy, I've been trying to propagate this, but have not had any success with seeds or cuttings as of yet. I don't think there are any more seed pods on this plant/tree, but I will check for you. I did recently learn that the seeds need scarification for successful germination. Here's a good link about this plant: http://www.meden.demon.co.uk/Malvaceae/Alyogyne/Alyogyne.htm...
