I haven't been able to get seeds like Randallsd, my neighbor, who gave me this plant.

If you ever do, don't forget about me. ;o)

I won't. lol! The seeds command a big price. My neighbor Randallsd sells the little packet of seeds for more than 300.00 US dollars.

Wow.... how many seeds in a packet? Need to figure out the price for one seed..... ;o)

Thanks you! It has 10 hanging flower spikes this winter, which is the most its ever had since I got it (from my neighbor) about 1 1/2 years ago.

Hi Delonix
Though I was selling seeds online through an auction site it was multiple sales at a bit lower prices that added up. The prices would vary and I always sent extra seeds. I was happy to send the very rare seeds to locations worldwide.
Your plant is looking great! Do you have any bees visiting the flowers? They frequent the flowers on mine and you're not that far away.

Randy, thanks for chiming in! I know you were getting some good prices on your seeds.
Yes, my plant has gotten taller and larger. It's actually liking the horrible cooler than normal weather this winter...even though, it's suppose to start getting hot as of tomorrow.
I do have lots of bees around...and hummingbirds. Did you see my hummingbird nest pic in my tropical guava? You'll have to come over and see it in person. I haven't seen in a long time, anyway.

Thats good to know.........I was breaking a sweat. lol...lol. Should I send some of my bees your way??? More bees, more chances of seeds. ;o)))))))))
28 Feb, 2013
That's funny! I would never charge you for seeds.
Luckily, we have lots of bees here. They're very active the weather has warmed up considerably. It's going to be in the 80's today and maybe up to 90 tomorrow, which will the hottest day.

I know Delonix,you're a good guy.....;o)))
Lucky you, enjoy your lovely weather. We've had so much rain this winter. Really fed up. Today and tomorrow warm and kind of sunny. Saturday new storm moves is, rain, thunder, lighting, wind bla bla bla bla bla. Had enough!

I hope you dry out a bit; although, rain is good, it gets the plants growing well for your hot summers.
Yes, I'll enjoy the hot weather. I'm off work today and was working in the back yard. It's now too hot even at around 12:00 pm to work in the yard...I'm roasting!
Send us some rain. We're way behind in our rainfall! We don't need another big drought here. I don't want to have to go back on water restrictions, again!

Andy, the plants do like the cool weather as long as they don't freeze. I'm actually getting a lot of seed pods this year, many on the seed grown plants for the first time. I posted a picture of a cluster on one of my seedling. The plant has many more just like it.
I checked out you hummingbird nest picture, great shot!
The bird and the nest are so tiny. I would like to see it in person.

I'll have to come over and see your plants.
Just call me anytime you want to see the hummingbird nest.
