Wanted Crotalaria spectabilis (Showy Rattlebox) seed

Lake Placid, FL(Zone 9b)

I have been looking for Crotalaria spectabilis seeds for a long time and have not found any sources.

Does anyone have any for trade, SASE, or know of a source?

Tami I have the sesbania ,rattle box(Scarlet wisteria tree) but the seeds aren't ready yet. Let me know if you want some.

Donna:

I just bought a Sesbania tripetti. Could you please post a photograph of yours so I can have a better idea of what it will look like as it matures? I've seen photographs of the flowers but none of a mature tree.

Here you go Veronica. http://community.webshots.com/photo/78207264/147235378LBmpkw and if you hit the next button it will show you the close up of the blooms. I have mine in a pot but have been told I can plant in the ground and that it will die back in winter and regrow each year. It is about 8' tall now.

Thank-you for the photographs Donna. Now I know what beauty I have to look forward to. :-)

Hi, Donna,

What a lovely plant. Yes, I would like some seeds. Let me know when they are ready, please. I will update my trade list soon, so you can see if there is anything you want.

Tami you can have them for SASE. I don't think I have a single place in my yard to plant or put a pot. e-mail me so I don't forget. Will probably be ready in a couple of weeks or less. They are turning yellow and drying already.
