Hi Mel,

There are several forumists growing this (myself included) who could potentially supply seed. It is late flowering so there will not be seed from my plants until June.

I only grow the bicoloured yellow/maroon form. Sadly, I've never seen the pure maroon form illustrated in the Goldblatt monograph.
