| Besides being beautiful in it's own right, I bet the flowers would be stunning in cut flower arrangements. What do you think? Have you ever cut some & brought them in the house?? |

| I have not, but you are probably right. This is a spectacular bloom that is still going strong here in the middle of November. |

| I don't have much success with seeds. The frost and below freezing temperatures set in before they ripen sufficiently. This year, I have grown an extra plant in a container. It has been in my garage for the past month and a few seed pods are looking promising. |

| Sadly enough. Frost set in before seeds were ripe. This year I am starting them inside early so that I will have seeds. (I hope) |

| I'm stunned by the richness of the colour. Mine is dull coloured (as in pic in the plantlink above). Why could it be? |
