thats so pritty. Who ever said VFT flowers where plain was wrong! yeh, I have another excuss to breed my pritties!

carniverous newbie · Oct 28, 2002

Ahhh! There it is, I saw it this time! Yes, my flowers were that pretty too...I think whoever said they weren't much to look at didn't look through a Mother's eyes! The flowers are beautiful.

It's not so pretty once they close up and die though.

Spectabilis73 · Oct 29, 2002

I'm glad some people could see it... yes like all flowers they look very ugly when they shrivle up and die, but at least you get seeds!

carniverous newbie · Oct 29, 2002

Ahhh....so getting back to origional topic, it's sometime after they shrivel and die that I'll get the seed?

Spectabilis73 · Oct 29, 2002

yes. (when the stem holding the flower on the scape compleatly turns brown...)(NOT THE PLANT&#33

Spectabilis73 · Oct 30, 2002

tell me if you get the seed!

Spectabilis73 · Oct 30, 2002

I went to see how the flowers were, and
I SEE IT! I SEE THE SEEDS THROUGH THE PEDALS! SEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO-HO! YEAH! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALY SOME SEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spectabilis73 · Oct 30, 2002

OOPS, I SEE THE SEEDS, BUT JUST THE FLOWER PART IS BLACK. WAIT TILL JUST THE FLOWER IS BLACK, NOT THE WHOLE STEM ON THE SCAPE HOLDING THE FLOWERS.

carniverous newbie · Oct 30, 2002

Oh my....

Spectabilis73 · Oct 30, 2002

I JUST TOOK APART TWO OF 5 FLOWERS AND I GOT seed!
YES!!!!

carniverous newbie · Oct 30, 2002

Gee...I hope I get seed too!

Spectabilis73 · Oct 30, 2002

it's hard...you have to take apart the flower petals to reveal the ovary or seed pod or whatever it's called and carfully take it apart and remove the seeds carfuly by rubbing it with a tooth pic and keep bubbing until you get at least 10 seeds!

carniverous newbie · Nov 11, 2002

MY TURN! WHOO HOO I GOT SEED! I took apart two of my flowers today and I got seed from both! Only two had seed, but I got 20 seeds or more out of them!

Spectabilis73 · Nov 11, 2002

wow! cool! I haven't sowed mine yet, and they haven't been in the fridge. do you think the seeds will still germanate?

GEORGE-CP · Nov 11, 2002

spec73, read your savage garden. it says the seeds can be sown immediately or refrig. for later use. what kind of vft's are they.

Spectabilis73 · Nov 11, 2002

green dragon. I've had the seeds for a month without being refrigerated. are they still good?
