Mine has been in flower
for the past 3 weeks and early summer (not early spring)

Mine will be in flower in about a week.
I suspect David's garden being that much sheltered and south of me
induces his plants to flower before mine!


If you want to sow the seed wait until NEXT year for this years seed,
then once it is about a year old bring it in and put it somewhere very
warm. Within about 24 hours millions of tiny seeds will be released from
the capsules. You can't use this years seed as it obviously needs to be
old and subject to intense heat (something to do with forest fires
perhaps?)
