Hi Gang,

I wanted to share a nice flower, Torina , it is on my windowsill right now.. And it is the sweetest plant .. Reminds me of an Orchid.

Someone sent the seeds to me and it just started to bloom when frost threatened.....So I potted it an moved inside ..........As you can see.
There are 2 in the pot....One is purple, but doesnt seem to bloom much.....

Does anyone recall sending those seeds? It should be a compliment to you......Job well done.
No ......seeds on there yet.

Enjoy..

Those are great looking flowers. I hope you are able to harvest many many seeds. I'm sure they will be very popular.

Hi dodge...

Thought i did send u some Torenia seeds... so i checked my record...according to my record i sent u a Hoya cutting, a Golden Shower baby orchid, Butterfly pea flower seeds, Passionflower seeds n Torenia seeds on June 6th...

But m not very certain about da date anymore... coz da record is of Microsoft Excel file n i did some deleting of some empty cells..didnt know it then that what i did moved da cells...that made me doubt da date...

anyway..what about da others...did they survive...?

Have a nice day....

Hey dodge, Do you think maybe the purple needs more room to bloom. It looks like that pink is hogging the pot lol.

nml,

Thanks if it was you......At one survived then.
I didnt plant the Passiaflora yet....

the orchids arent doing a thing .The others just rotted away......I will let you know if they happen to grow.

But it was just taking a chance to do that.. I am sorry if nothing arrived there 2 times now.

You better hold on to Torina seeds tho....
Did any of my seeds get to you?

Hi comfrey, joc, Penny n Tammy too...n everyone else who's interested.....

i surely do not mind sending u da seeds... but not in da very near future tho... with all this rain... wouldnt b a good idea collecting da seed heads...

da seeds r soo tiny...what i did da last time was ... i just cut off da dried up seed heads... before da seeds have fallen off to da ground, that is...which they readily do soo!!.... n sent 'em off to dodge.
