A Garden from 100 Packets of Seed

Wrong and Not this time.

I've just ordered a Lucky Dip selection of seeds from Chiltern Seeds as they have a special offer - 10 random packets for £3.25.https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/news...-basement-2018

Guess how many packets I ordered?

Surprise surprise, I did the same thing - have to compare what we get sent. I'm hoping for the Blue lupins and Pink Asters

[veggiechicken]

I have mine already but only had a quick look through - enough to put them in alphabetical order but not looked up in the catalogue.

[Thelma Sanders]

I've got ....
Penstemon Digitalis Beard-tongue white
Callistephus Chinensis (a white aster)
Chrysanthemum macrophyllum (white Tansy)
Knautia macedonica, mixed pastel shades.
Codonopsis vinciflora (Blue flowered vine, probably best in a greenhouse)
Passiflora Edulis.

Then the weirdness begins.....
Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian pepper tree half-hardy) yup you know I have a greenhouse big enough to grow a tree
Golden Rain Tree (not fully hardy)
Cryptostegia grandiflora (Rubber vine, pink flowered half hardy perennial climber, a weed in Australia)
Xeranthemum cylindriceum Eh? Looks like weed!

I don't know where to begin with my seeds - as I bought 100, just so that I could post on this thread.

Some of my "highlights"
Cucumber tree - pollinated by bats Parmentiera aculeata - Useful Tropical Plants

Dead Horse Arum Lily https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicodiceros said to resemble the rear end of a dead mammal and stink accordingly.

Cryptostegia grandiflora (Rubber vine, pink flowered half hardy perennial climber, a weed in Australia)

"Cryptostegia grandiflora is a self supporting, many-stemmed vine that is capable of growing over trees up to 15m high" - how big is that greenhouse?

Pollinated by BATS. That is too weird.

Your wish is granted - they will be carried on the wings of a bat to your door.

Golden Rain Tree (not fully hardy)

There's one of these by the entrance of one of our local parks. It's thriving, makes a really nice small tree. Go for it!

Can I keep the bat as well? I think bats are so cute and cuddly - well, the ones without rabies at least.
