Hello
One of the sellers on Ebay is selling 20 AV flower fantasy seeds. It's 1.99 with free shipping. I definitely have the patience for seeds, but I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with these "fantasy flowers"?

Should I decide to grow some from seeds, is it ok to use regular potting mix from the greenhouse. I use something Garden Safe all purpose potting mix.

If you need to see what I'm talking about, this is the link on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7745557318&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1&rd=1

Well, AV's from seeds are possible, as that is how we get new varieties, but I have never done it, and I doubt the blooms in 5 to 6 months claim, along with a few other things.

If you have the time and money to spare, why not try it?
