I got seed from this nicandra or shoe fly plant in a RR last year. I have a bunch up in the greenhouse, anybody have any picture of what the bloom looks like or a link? Thanks Joann
Nicandra
Gee that is pretty, thanks Mitjo, just out of curiosity, how did you come up with your garden name of Mitjo?
Mitjo is my first name....that`s Russian name if I know right...
if you mean how I came to DG.....Evert and Diana helped me in...
Try the variegated nicrandra splish splash sometime. The foliage is great and it's easy from seed
talinum, I got seed in a round robin last spring and do all the all bloom purple like Mitjo's link?
I have two kind of Nicandra seedlings, old paynt and black pod seedlings
Lenjo, I think they bloom in various shades lite to dk purple. I don't know why they are different. I planted the varieg. last year and grew it for foliage so can't remember what color the flowers were. I had some seed left over so tried it again this spring. I had good germ from them. Also it seems the varieg. come about 80% true. My seed also came from a trade.
