Does anyone have Peekaboo Plant?
If we are thinking of the same plant, I don't have it, but my DD tried to grow some from seed last year. No luck. =( She got the seeds here, so someone has it. =)
anyway, it's AKA the Eyeball plant and Toothache plant

I looked and looked for the plant in cyber space but could not find it,, thats why I posted then I retyped how I spelled it and found it.. Looks very cool. Cant wait to see the flower.. Thanks for responding..

I'll post a photo now...LOL!
Can you tell how Mr. Nosey Parker got his name???
Who? What? Where?? Did I miss something???
And this is my ABSOLUTE favorite shot. I swear, it looks like he has his hands on his hips! "Now where'd them doggone felines go?"
I saw this plant at a nursery in Winston Salem NC and didn't buy it. Of course, I got home and wished I had. I found some of the seeds at Park seed company. Every seed I got germinated and my plants are now 4 inches high. It said that this plant was also a good houseplant or greenhouse plant. I am looking forward to it blooming. I'm going to try and save some seeds so I can have more next year. The hyperlink that Sundry posted above is the plant I'm talking about.
Please send photos when you bloom! Mine haven't even popped up from the ground yet! I have a few more seeds, though. If these don't germinate, I will try them as houseplants come fall. Thanks for the tip!
I love that Pekeboo! LOL!
