Mine is just getting ready to bloom. I had no idea it would get so big! :) Thanks for sharing your picture. roshana Jacksonville, IL (Zone 5a) October 03, 2003 03:21 PM Post #669062 I grew this last year and it was very prolific. It self-seeds so easily. I had tons come up this year near where it was last year and even farther away! Mine just get huge! Taller than I am! By the way, Dinu, I've been wondering how you get those rounded edges on your photos. Makes them look like slides!

The longest red thing on my plants is about a foot long and it hangs downwards. Roshana, the rounded edges are done with the photo-editor. It's easy and you can choose which type of edge you prefer. just click and it's there. roshana Jacksonville, IL (Zone 5a) October 07, 2003 11:51 AM Post #673266 Thanks for the info, Dinu. But which photo editor? Dinu Mysore India (Zone 10a) October 08, 2003 12:35 AM Post #674088 I think it is windows 2000. It should be there in other versions too. roshana Jacksonville, IL (Zone 5a) October 08, 2003 09:12 AM Post #674302 OK I'll look for the photo editor. I use windows 2000. Thanks.

Once you find the seeds (not always easy), they will easily reseed, sometimes WAY across the yard! Click the image for an enlarged view. Dinu Mysore India (Zone 10a) November 13, 2003 04:45 AM Post #708261 That's a wonderful plant of yours, Osagewoman. Mine went to max. of 28 inches tall. Are these plants edible?
