MSJen,
Did you ever find this plant? Good luck. I MIGHT have some rooted cuttings. Depends on how well they are rooted. No need to trade for them or SASE. Just let me know.

hugo,
Thanks for the offer. Badseed emailed and said she had a few seedlings shes sending my way.
I'm so happy!!!

Navarre (NW FL), FL(Zone 8b)

Good. Glad to hear it worked out for you. These are really cool plants aren't they?

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Hugo, its one of those plants that just makes me giggle when i see the structure of the flower.
I was pretty durn mad at myself for destroying mine. It had been there for 3 or 4 years, its not like i didnt know it was there

Wow... I'm glad to hear they keep coming back season after season like that. This will be my first year having it. I can see how they would make you giggle. I love the little ear looking things on the bloom.

I liked it also because it was easy to maintain, easy to root from cuttings, and low growing. Just all around well-behaved.
I'm in 8b, and never did anything special with it to overwinter it.

Hey Jen,
Just wanted to touch base and let you know I will mail on Saturday. I thought I was waiting on something from you and didn't mail on Monday. Sorry!! I did want you to know your name is on them and they will go out Saturday. :)

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Am i sending you something? I'm easily confused, lol. Please let me know
thanks
jen
are you looking for anything?

Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

It's just brain flatulence. LOL I didn't ask you for anything. I've just had a lot going out for postage lately you got stuck in the stamp file. ;) I try to only mail on Monday or Saturday so plants get out pretty quick.

Yazoo City, MS(Zone 7b)

I love interesting plants! If anyone has any more extra, I can send postage, please, please! lol
LMK!

I'd be curious too how to root them. I have a BIG plant out front and would be more than happy to share if only I knew how.

MsJen did you ever get your start(s)? If not, LMK and I'll send you some.

shhhh, dont tell michelle, but i kilt them....i received some seeds for it but was going to wait a few months to start them.
i think when gloria gave me cuttings i just stuck them in water and they rooted. Since then tho, i've managed to kill the main plant, kill all cuttings, killed michelles plants.....i think it hates me, lol.
ill email you,
