Who knows what this plant is called please? Not the begonia, but the other one, with the purple flowers.

Sorry no, but I like it!

Yes, so do I. And so easy to propagate, in full bloom all the time, and with so many seeds falling off each day. It needs a lot of water though.

May I have some seed Hilda? Please. Could it be a tradecantia? (spelling?)

Hi grandmage,
I don't think so, but am not sure. I will post another photo more close-up.

Gill (Grandmage),
Of course you can!!! (Have seeds)
Hilda

That would be lovely, thanks Hilda. Shall I pm. you my address?

Yes, do that please, via email or whatever.
Cheers,
Hilda

Ok Hilda, I will pm. you on here. Thanks

Hi Gill,

I am sorry to say that my dear old plant does not produce any seeds for the moment. I suddenly realised that I didn't hear the popping sound of seedpods that exploded anymore.
As soon as there are new seeds, I will post them to you. And if they don't seed before we come to London once again, I'll bring you a whole plant ;-)

But first we are going to Edinburgh, from 14 th till 21 st November. I will bring David lots of plants. Do you know if there are any restrictions on bringing plants into Scotland? I am going to hide them in my suitcase (carefully wrapped).

Bye for now,
Hilda

Hilda, think you should put this as a question on here, because there are a lot of scottish folk who I am sure could answer this for you. Ok. Dont worry about the seeds, another time, no worries!! Enjoy Scotland, wrap up warm !

Hi Gill,

Thanks a lot for the advice. I shall do so.

Yes, we'll pack our woollies ;-)

Hilda
