I've looked at the link you gave.
This is wonderful !

That's fascinating. I'll look forward to the photos of when it flowers.

Thanks!
Terra - it is very fragrant too!
Hywel - not sure how long the wait will be. It's of the same family as Datura and Brugmansia so I'm hoping that it will be a fast grower.

Fantastic result, hopfully it won't keep you waiting to long for flowers!

I'm allowing a couple of years PA - if it's as rapid as a Datura that would be a bonus!

23°c in the propogater Pimpernel! We had no frost at all last night!
Especially when it's one of the special ones Alex!

Agree.
My "other" seeds still have not germinated....another lesson learned. Soak the seeds!
I went mad on buying seeds again.....and I said I had given up on them. Ha!

Meanie:
This is a very tropical plant. It's not in the same family as Brugmansia or Datura....it's in the Rubiaceae family (Coffee family).
This plant grows in southern California. However, it's not common at all, and must be planted out in the mildest, warmest areas one can find.

Meanie:
I think your Sandersonia aurantiaca will germinate much faster than 9 months. It's a very common plant here and super easy to grow.
10 Feb, 2012
I should have corrected that! When I first saw this at OBG I started looking for this and read that on a US site!!!
The Sandersonia have been in for four months now Delonix......

when did you sow the Sandersonia Meanie, last spring i sowed mine and they germinated in 8 weeks, not all sprouted but they can be a bit sporadic.
10 Feb, 2012
The same time as the Gloriosa seeds Surreylad.
How did you sow yours?
