Floating Seeds Good or Bad ?

Thanks for posting the results Harry

Just got home & checked the Chill plants. 2 chillies set, about 2 inches long already. Polinated the other open flowers with a paintbrush.

 

Did it look like this Ziggy

 

Blimey Pete,

Thats the one alrighty Well done mate

Did you sell mothers cow at market and get 5 of them ?

Are we going to the 10th Kingdom after all ?:WINK1:

 

I bought two of these a few years ago from Chilterns.

I grew one and saved the other, apparently some people use them as good luck charms or some such.


It from a tropical climber that grows the largest pods of any legume.

Trouble is I can remember the name :D

 

At least you knew what I was on about Pete

And sorry, I was refering to the wrong fantasy tv prog there, it should of course been this one,

I get confused because they shot part of the 10th Kingdom at the College I attended:DOH:

 

[size=large]wow, Pete, whatever plant it is must be big![/size]

 

Hi Mira, surprisingly the plant that came from the seed I germinated was a very thin climbing stem, I think it was a twiner.
It was difficult to keep, so I'm guessing its a true tropical rain forest type plant.
The kind that germinates and grows like the clappers for the forest canopy, and sunlight, before showing its true potential.

 

I think it might be called Entada rheedii..rampant climber ..I have never tried growing it but I recall buying one a bean on holiday once
Commonly known as the African Dream Herb or Snuff Box Sea Bean,

Thanks Dave, found it now in the catalogue.

In Chilterns its under Entada gigas, (monkey ladder vine).

It says the pods can be more than 6ft long.

 

And I thought that 'sinkers and floaters' was the way to check out the 'Mussels'
before steaming them.....................

 

Blimey

Six foot long

Wow

 

Evening Pete
How did you get on with growing the Entada vine . Always interested in unusual plants from seed ..
