Inspired by emdiar's green fingers and interesting herbs, I wonder if any other proggers are into planting the seed and assisting nature in growing the seed?

I'll take some snapshots of my own plants if this thread develops any interest, but for now here are some piccies of similar ones to plants I grow that I found elsewhere;

I recently bought a Venus Flytrap that seems very happy in my kitchen - if I ever get a digicam I'll post a pic.

Funnily enough, I'm doing some experiments to cross the giant Hogweed with a venus flytrap and see if I can grow a 15 foot trap that can protect itself...

My latest passion for plants are ferns. They have come from the prehistoric times and have this unique way of reproduction through spores (a bit like Mushrooms). I also love the Pieris Japonica shrubs and Pachysandra as floor cover around That is ouside the rosemary tyme parsley and sage to make the best food, of course! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
