I have Red at present, for SSAE, I have never tried to grow the seeds
But I do know they have to be planted fresh. ...MM
Also the White/Red are nearly ready to pop open

Hi MM
I'd like some of the Hippy seeds. I have a few seedlings growing now and I'd love to get some more growing, especially the red and white. Email me directly with your address and I'll send a SSAE. |

MM they won't always grow true to the parent from seed, but that's half the fun. The red is LOVELY.
Growing Hippies from seed is very easy and a very cheap way to obtain bulk plants at little expense other than a bit of patience - well 3 years from seed to flower is about standard but sometimes with a little "push" you may have flowers in 2 years. Imagine an entire driveway of flowers!!!
If you want to try it yourself let me know and I'll send some notes. |

| Thanks Alison but I will give it a miss, my bulbs multiply so much as it is, I like that driveway idea too mine is so long it's the watering you see. Yes I know that about the colour and dont you think that is a bonus, I am still waiting for my Day Lily seed plants to get bigger I wonder what colour they will turn out. |

| Hi MM, any extra seeds left? I'd like to get my hands on some if I can. I can trade you for some seeds from my 'Minerva hippeastrum' - red/orange bloom with thick white stripe on each petal. |

| Hi Dan Iam sorry they are gone would you believe I took the last pod full of seeds off last week , but I think they were my orange ones as they flower last. But you are quite welcome to some bulbs when I divide in late summer. If you do want any email me ....Cheers..MM. |
