Received some 'Velvet Flower' from Texas today. Tiny seed like snapdragon.
instructions are - Sow on top of mix. Light needed for germination. 14/21 days for germination.

Can't remember who sent it to me, not on DG anyway.

Maybe the botanical name, then I could research it.

Thanks tons,
Inanda

Salpiglossis. Yes it is. Compared it to my own seed, collected from my garden. DUH...... It is the same. Maybe diff. colours to mine.

Thank you Jody.

Emh48. No, not black and shiny. Think that Jody has ID'd it.
