The Holy Grail - Crimson Flowered Broadies...

[Hazel at the Hill]

I cannot BELIEVE that I passed up the opportunity to buy these at the Malvern show in the Spring ('50p each seed!!!! I don't think so!' D'oh!) - they are THE purdiest things..... I also have a feeling that there's a grape or two on here who may have grown them and may have some seed.....hmmm?

I have SO fallen for these, I'll swap vitually anything (bad tempered black and white cat, anyone??) to get my mitts on half a dozen seed to sow for seed for next year (and I know that they are promiscuous little blighters, so I can even find a space (thanks mum!) well away from anything remotely broad beanish so I'll have oodles of true-seed for next year....)

Any chance of a few anyone.....?

Any idea of the name Hazel, I'll see what I can find over here?

Thanks for the offer os the cat but I've got a 19 years old grumpy black and white already!

[Hazel at the Hill]

It's just called that, by the looks of it, Tony. Plants of distinction have it but is's out of stock, HSL isn't offering it this year.

Details are here

If the cat's no good, I have a right arm that I'm not currently using?

I gave them a ring for you but they were on answer machine.
Bet they would take credit card.

[Hazel at the Hill]

OH YES!!! Thank you Nicos for that link!! (*kiss kiss kiss kiss - offer of black and white cat AND right arm.....*)

I've spoken to the lady at Brown Envelope Seeds and she has the seeds in stock and is sending them out to me today! Hurrah!

Merry Xmas chuck!!!!!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Don't you jus' luuuuuurrrrve the Vine!

[Seahorse]

I'm so weak! I thought I'd just, you know... have a little look and all of a sudden £20 worth of seeds had leapt into my basket!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Well, you've got to have something to start off in that luvverly greenhouse, don't you, Claire!

[Seahorse]

That's right! *swiftly kicks huge box of seeds that she already has out of sight*

[Hazel at the Hill]

's alright - they don't count as you bought them before you had the greenhouse!

[Seahorse]

I like your style Hazel

[seasprout]

erm...

Ho ... I was after some last year... missed the opportunity to get some from the HSL. This year I got some from Plants of distinction with the intention of growing for seed only.

Good job I decided to order and not wait for this years HSL as it appears they dont have any.
Will hopfully have lots of seed this time next year.

You and me, both, Seasprout - I'm going to start mine off in pots and put about half a dozen of the plants in a block in mum's garden where there's no chance of cross pollination, all for seed, then the rest go to be grown at the Hill to be admired by all!

[Flummery]

You'll be on loads of people's hit lists for a swap this time next year then Hazel!
