Alice, my sympathies on getting rid of it. But it's so pretty - in the right place - and is a hummingbird magnet. I love the feathery foliage. So I'm inclined to let it get a foothold again. It's a great vine for covering a chain-link fence. If only I had one . . or somewhere else it could ramble happily.

Paula, I have some seeds I collected just now, but will have a lot more by later in the week. Today the plants are either in bloom, or the seeds have dropped. In any case, I'll have enough to send you very soon. I discovered one plant at least 7ft. tall poking out the top of my little kumquat tree! Of course, it has seeds 'way up there where I couldn't reach them. Will break out the ladder this evening. FYI, I used to keep them in a mixed flower border at the last house. You can keep them blooming and not leggy if you pinch them occasionally.

Love that orange Vanda of yours. D'you think they'd be a good try for the top of the fence orchid garden?
