Mike Bingham, are you kidding me? How many beers did you have before snapping that shot? Surely, there must be more worthy specimens for a species-profile than this! Or am I missing something? 
Frank, do you know anything else about this plant? |
Erlend, you are hilarious! I agree...maybe a shot of a living plant would have been a bit more pleasing to the eyes, lol.
I don't know much about it, other than what's written by Constantine on his website. It's not endangered though, I don't believe, so what's the holdup on seeds becoming available? I think it's either lack of interest or knowledge of the plant itself that is keeping either of them from entering into cultivation. It certainly isn't because they are undesirable plants for the garden (er, even though that picture by Mike Bingham does leave something to be desired!). Are you interested, Erlend? PM me if so.
