    This is a collection of plants that I have grown from seed sent to me by other members.
    Not all the plants I have are there but a representation of most is there.
    Can you spot your seed? :D

    I haven't sent you any seeds Pete...but you sent me a pepino cutting last year,remember?
    Just thought you would like to know that,following a conversation about the plant between us, I was asked by the Head gardener of Hidcote if I would give them a plant as he had never heard of it. There is now one in the Hidcote greenhouse on public display no less! :cool:

    Well done pete and Pal! What an achievement.

    Gosh, I'm useless at this, but is that a Schinus back right and a couple of other frondy things look familiar Delonix (which obviously I didn't send you)? :rolleyes:

    nice display of plants, Pete.
    I just started exchanging seeds and I have to admit that the seeds that I get from gardening enthusiasts are germinating very fast and well.
    But, of course, being in my hands, there is no guarantee for their future...

    Yes, its not easy to ID plants from that pic, but it would be nice to see pics from other members of the plants that they have grown from others seed.

    I love all my plants in the garden, but the plants / seeds from GC friends have added value.

    what a great idea for a new long term thread, hope to post soon!
