Lotus berthelotii-looking for

i am looking for Parrot's Beak, Coral Gem, Pelican's Beak seeds.... any takers. My local graden center had mature plants, but they sell out quickly.

One note: this is all over containers the downtown tourista areas here--- any knowledge on seed collecting?

thanks,
kendra

Kendra,
I don't know about seed but i believe you can do cuttings if you happen to get some from the downtown containers. I too have been looking for this plant. Please let me know if you find it. Good luck.

I grew it a couple of years ago and was very disappointed in it. Of course, I didn't know what I was doing either. The foliage was great, but it had one big bloom flush and that was it. No more blooms the rest of the year. I may give it another try, but will be prepared for it to be a filler plant and not a big bloomer. Hope you find the seeds you need. Cuttings take some time, but they do work.

Mine bloomed like crazy!. I had it wheni lived in Colorado. I lost it to pests of some sort when I brought it in for the winter. I had no idea how to treat it and put it off for too long and lost it.

I finally found this little plant. Thank you all who read this.

I'll remove this from my "watch this thread" list.
