Default ?Seeds from Surfinias

Hi all

Surfinias over here in France are extremely popular but I have never come
across seeds for them in packets. Plenty of Petunia and Petunia Pendulant seeds
which I always grow, but no Petunia Surfinia seeds. It seems you can only buy
the plant ready to pot and I buy and plant like everybody else but this year
have decided to collect the seeds. Will these be fertile and if so will they
produce the same colour flowers?

Also, we have an insect which rather resembles a large moth/bee that hovers
like a humming bird darts about visiting almost every bloom and sucks nectar
with a long probosis. It has a light brown furry body with white and black
areas near the tail end and about 1 1/2" long. Hums quite loudly as it flies.
Does anybody know its name please? TIA

Phil
