Hi skaz,

I don't know how to collect seeds, but I have a 'solar eclipse' that's blooming. Tell me how to get them and I'll send you some seeds.

Leslie,

Sorry, I don't know either. I'll ask in the forum, though. Does your plant have seeds on it now?

Chapin, SC(Zone 7b)

I don't know. How do I tell? LOL This is pitiful!

If it had seeds, I think you'd know it. The plant grows a long stem, right up it's middle, and that stem (I don't know what it's called) gets covered with seeds. They're easy to see. At least that's what happened to the ones in my garden.

I just never knew when it was the right time to harvest the seeds. I have a plant with seeds on it now. There's probably something on here that talks about it - I'm going to look around. If I don't find anything, I'll post a question in the forum.

If you want, we could trade cuttings. I have 3 or 4 named plants, and they're all large enough to take cuttings from.

How does that sound?

Hi Steve,

Merry Christmas. Waiting for the 3 year old to wake up here.........

Cuttings sound great. Will be in touch soon.

Leslie
