Oh, Nice! I didn't have any reseed this year. :-( I will be planting very early in the coming spring. This is one of my favorites with green tea and/or pomegranate. YUM!

Daffodil, but what type?

I'm in the Dallas area. These have been in the ground, in a large bed (13 x 85 feet), unprotected, since before I bought this house 4 years ago. I've never covered anything in cold weather, never watered in hot dry weather, and the bed is completely packed with stuff, so everything is very crowded. (Every spare inch of soil in this bed is packed with grape hyacinth bulbs, and some actually come up on top of or in the middle of other plants. Tips on how to get rid of the hyacinth short of digging up and sifting through the entire bed are gratefully accepted...hehe.)

Kristi...Yes it is a Rozetta. The very bulb that bloomed for me as a mislabeled First Love. I gave away that bulb to my cousin and it bloomed again for her. Donna...Big bummer on that seedpod! Some times, there are "things" that are not meant to be. Perhaps next time? Won't hurt to try again. I just harvested the seeds of that above picture seedpod tonight and will have to admit that these papilio bulbs are the most fertile papilios I have handled. Or perhaps the "fertility" stars were all lined up that night I was pollinating. LOL 163 good seeds in the pod with none having any dots!!!

Alison, they are soft and made of cotton. I should have spread them out for all to see. I got lucky when I posted the pictures because I had a new computer and it has a different operating system than my old one. This one has windows Vista. Anyway they downloaded totally different from my old system. Now I'm trying to download and post a picture of the towels and I'm having all kinds of problems.

I had two volunteers this year and three that I planted. I usually just put them in my breakfast smoothies. I gather you can make cranberry sauce with them. I've never got beyond the smoothies. - great with star fruit and banana.

Been growing it here as well & harvesting for quite some time - we enjoy it like rhubarb in fruit crisp w/ apples, plums, strawberries &/or pears.
