Thunbergia
I purchased a packet of Thumbergia seeds, very pricey at £4.50 but I love them. I opened the packet and let out a few expletives as I counted them. Eight seeds!
I planted them all in a pot and, give them some credit, all eight germinated and grew. They were on the kitchen windowsill for a couple of months before I put them outside, still in their natal pot and the soon started to flower.
Here we are in October, the leaves are turning but they're still flowering. Can I reap the seeds? No chance! With all the flowers that have appeared not one seed head contains a seed. Hummm... the seeds will cost at least a fiver next year.
