Amazing flower and shot... Thank you...
Are these from a plant you have?
I recently purchased seeds to start some of these gorgeous plants, but
haven't planted them as yet... any advice...?

Thank you.

Are these from a plant you have?

Yes, I have quie a few of them. I used to have the white one, which is more
spectacular, but unfortunately the scrub turkeys destroyed it.

They like a fair amount of water and I put some slow release fertilizer
around the base once or twice a year, that's about all.

When they finish flowering I leave the flowers on the plant till the seed
pods have formed, then just throw the pods into a well shaded moist area of
my garden and they self seed quite readily, though can take some months to
do so.

Thank you for the advice, Barbara... Will give them a try... I have
both white and black seeds... but, being in Ontario Canada, I'll be
attempting to start and raise them in the house... We'll see how it
goes...

Good luck, I live in the sub tropics of Australia, that makes it much
easier to grow them. :-)
