Title: Chasmanthe aethiopica
Post by: SueG on September 01, 2008, 04:39:10 PM

Please can anyone help me track down seed of this - it's the one Chasmanthe I've never managed to lay my hands on and I'd like to see just what it's like?
Thanks for any suggestions
Sue

Hello!

My C. aethiopica is blooming at the moment. It produces a lot of nectar by the way :)
