      I just want everything to flower well, but I suppose at this moment in time it is the Acanthus and later the Agapanthus that came back from the dead a few years ago, but really all the plants I have are my favourites and that is why I have them in my garden.. :SUNsmile: :yay:

        I don't know about you, but mine are looking as if they'll be spectacular this year.

              Heroic effort!:dbgrtmb:
              First person that I "know" who has germinated one. Where did you get the seed?

                Only problem is that the seed leaves look very like Arisaema ... I've sown loads of them this Spring too. But never seed Tacca seedling before, so maybe they are similar? or maybe I mis-labelled or spilled-seed!!

                Australia (one of the eBay AU seed sellers - let me know if you want to know which one)

                P.S. "Murphy" must have been down-my-way recently as, bored with waiting for germinate and assuming "no chance" I bought tubers instead, and they arrived the day before :heehee:

                  :)

                  Kenni Koala Seeds
                  http://myworld.ebay.com.au/kenni_koala_seeds/

                  You might want to wait until I see what happens after the seed leaves though - right now it could be anything!

                  Also got a bunch of Arisaema seed, Brunonia australis, his Clitoria ternatea have germinated really well, several Dianella and Kennedia, Swainsona formosa plus a few Yuccas (all of those have germinated well now I think about it, hadn't associated good-germinators with "which-supplier" until now ... bodes well for Kenni Koala though :) )

                  Two types of monarda, Cambridge scarlet and cobham beauty. I've never grown them before and they're some of the showiest flowers in our small garden. I'm guarding them from snails like a hawk.
