Very pretty. I lost my only PCI last year.

I like this one the most of the two you posted and I hope you'll share more.

I've yet to try them and when I do it will be against all advice.

Thanks for sharing your photos. I've always had a soft spot for PCIs.

Wow! That is really beautiful.

Anne,
That's really lovely. How long ago did you plant the seed? Did you transplant or sow in situ? TIA

Hi Iris Gal. I planted the seed in the fall of 05 in one gallon pots. Got near 100% germination in spring of 06, when I should have lined them out, but was busy moving. I moved 3 pots each with about 10 seedlings to my new house. Finally got to put them in the ground in late April of 07. The seedlings sat in crowded pots for a year! To my amazement, I lost nearly none, and most bloomed the following spring, 08. They have grown like weeds here in zone 16. I just thinned my beds and gave away about half. I'm sure you could grow them easily if you are not too far inland.

That's beautiful. I hope I get a bloom half as nice from the seeds I got in trade!
