G'day Leslieray, well...I'm a little red-faced
It seems I have 6 splendid pea plants!!
After looking at your seedling picture, it was plain to see my seedlings in no way matched your image.The lady who gave me the seeds actually had them in a mess on the carpet in the back of her car, she just sorta grabbed a handful of chaff and gave it to me.As I had not grown them before, I had no idea what the individual seed looked like.There were 10 small fat round seeds that I located and planted, unknown pea seed lol.
I have a ''Pride of Madeira'' with dried flower bracks, so I have picked one and after rummaging through it, small black seed somewhat resembling shark teeth, was located. So I well and truly now know what echium seed looks like !!
Luckily, I still have the bowl with the original ''wildpretii'' seed, so I have now sown the lot, chaff and all, in one pot.
So thankyou Leslieray of Hamilton Square
, and I look forward to more images of your beautiful echiums.
