OK, it isn't yer normal, everyday meconposis.
But you have to admit the colour is super...
I am delighted with this. I bought it last year and it has flourished this.
It brightens up a dark corner.

Tried to cultivate these with great care, but have now changed my tack and just tossed a packet of seeds down to do their thing - it might work!!!

Lol Meanie. My attempt to seed them indoors failed miserably and have decided to try the same thing. Fingers Xed for both of us :)

I didn't know they seeded readily. That is good news.
I use a similar tactic for seeds, meanie.
I will try to get a better photo as soon as I can. This was the first to open, but as you can see there are lots of buds yet to be.
Now, if only the rain would stop..!

I'm hoping that they will seed readily!
Trying to grow them carefully fails for me - after a spell in the fridge a handful out of a packet germinate. They grow on up to various point, but always die on me.
