    Hopefully I'll have plenty of seed :thumb:, there are dozens of seed pods on all the plants now..

    Interestingly too whilst inspecting the seed pods today I caught a scent from the remaining flowers that was very reminiscent of hyacinths but much more subtle; strange how when they were in full flower that I didn't really get any scent from them and now they're nearly finished its quite obvious :scratch:

    i think i have killed most of mine off, i think it might be a touch too cold in the conservatory, but two of them that i gave to john next door are thriving, one is a pink double and the other is a purple one with white in,lovely

    Got plenty of seed in the fridge but never got round to sowing any, I may still pop some in for some late summer/autumn colour, they flowered quite quickly from seed for me last year :dbgrtmb:

    i have got some of the pink ones (the original picture)in the garden and in the house, The multi coloured seeds i bought, got drowned in the garden on 28th june when the north east got flooded, so i bought the seeds and did not get one flower:cry3: , looks like i need to buy some more. The plants do not know if they are coming or going this year with the weather, we had hailstones and more flooding on sunday
