I don't know about the seed but it's certainly worth a try. A lot of
the interesting plants around nowadays have come about by just such a
chance. Our Crocosmia Krakatoa was something that crossed with C.
Lucifer and produced an interesting variant quite by accident. I
notice that you have one of those round tables with a 'skirt' and we
have something similar which hides the tv when not in use. I'd love a
tv 'den' but as that is the Nursery office, the skirted table does the
job very well. I love the white petunias in the blue bowl, too. That
particular blue is a great favourite of mine and it looks wonderful in
a sunny spot. You might also like to look out for a surfinia called
'Lime', which is white with a greenish throat. That, too, would look
great in your blue pots and is another I love - it's very elegant and
cooling, too.
