This is another of the littlies and it grows beside the wonderful 'Archangel Eyes'. They make an unusual pair.

The minis are gorgeous aren't they,they always have so many flowers and a lot have such pretty coloured eyes, I bought a lovely one last autumn called 'Changing Latitudes' lovely bands of colour.
Have you tried them from seed Bernieh? I got some free seed last spring from the BHHS seed thats sent to them from the AHS, I was like a kid in a sweetshop picking which crosses I wanted, have over 150 seedlings!!!!!, just tucked them up in the greenhouse for winter I'll plant them out next spring, can't wait to see them flower :-)

No, I've never tried them from seed Simbad. Actually I've never seen the seed packets for Hemes here. Here in the north east we get a very limited range in our nurseries, and I have never tried and seed catalogues yet either.

Lol, I wouldn't have anywhere to plant 150 seedlings anyway! I'd have to move.

Yes I did go a bit overboard, lol, didn't expect practically every seed to germinate!!!!!, they'll go on my allotment till they flower then I'll just pick the best for in the garden, thats if I can bring myself to throw any away,lol.
You've probably heard of this seed auction site, its nice to have a drool over, some of the seeds do go for a lot of money but sometimes bargains can be had :-)

You certainly had a high success rate with those seeds. I have seen the site you mentioned, and have been blown away with some of the prices. But as you say, there are some terrific bargains as well. Of course, over here in Oz, our strict quarantine laws means I can't take advantage of such great deals.
