Thank you ~ I'll try to collect some, though the pods frequently do not ripen before frost here.

So pretty! I just love Lisianthus. How tall does this one get?

It's about 15". Lisianthus are one of my few "must have" annuals.

Nice one Moby. Did you start it from seed? I find them so slow growing as seedlings. Have to start them so early.

Nooo, I rarely start anything from seed so I'm glad you mentioned that. Considering that they like considerably warmer climes than ours, that's probably why they're slow to grow and take so long for the seed pod to ripen.

Here's another favorite ~ Lisianthus Echo Lilac Rose

Oh, wow, that is gorgeous! I just love the blue tips on the petals. I came across a field of wild ones about a month ago near my aunt's place. They're so stunning when in mass!

The one with blue rim is a real knock out
