Thought you were referring to another member of the board then...
What do they look like?

Oh if only you had said - I can get them here in the smallest supermarket.
Jung bung them in the compost - they really are so easy. I have grown them again after a space of a few years - this year I have the yellow, orange and white ones all together - well hopefully.

Black eyed susan, is that Rudbekia? or Thunbergia you are trying?

Thunbergia Jlottie.....was it you Jlottie that posted a pic of them growing in a tub they were adorable. I've ordered the Eden Project ones in yellow and white. Couldn't find them anywhere locally. They look like this April.... www.suttons.co.uk/im/pd/FLSTHU0965_2.jpg |

YAY! The seeds arrived today and can't wait to get them started!
I'm sooo excited. Hope they grow for me now....although i'm a little late according to the packet but i'll have a bash anyway seeing as i'm further north everything tends to be a months behind up here.

Hello Ziggy - I would sow your seeds 2 or 3 to a small pot in any multipurpose compost. they are easy to grow   |

Thanks Isabella will follow your advice....the pic is lovely!
Sowing two/three to a pot will make them easier to pot on i assume. I think this is going to be an annual pilgrimage to get seeds of this particular plant.
I'm hoping to have some spare so i can pop some in the courtyard at work as we have two poles which i thought they would clothe quite nicely too.

I've sown my seed in pots....its says i've got to keep them in awarm cupboard in the dark.....errmmm i don't have a warm cupboard as don't have an airing cupboard. So i've popped plastic bags over them and keeping them in the bathroom as it's the warmest place in the house.

Hello ziggy - that should be fine - once the seeds have germinated move them to a good light place and take the bags off I hope they grow well for you - they are lovely |
