@rennezoe No, the foliage is much different from what I can see

The flower reminds me of thistle, or maybe mimosa but foliage doesn't look right for those either. Be sure to post what you find...I want one! 😊

@rennezoe If you would like some seed of it just let me know. I collect the seed from everything I have because I use the greenhouse through the winters to grow for the next year. I'd be more than happy to share!

I'd love to try! I've only direct sown store bought seeds but this year I'm going to try starting a few plants indoors. Mostly because I'm running out of room for houseplants 😊

I have seeds from my sweet pea Vine drying for @Acetaker but I've collected more than enough for one person if you'd like to trade. Or anything else I have, I just may need instructions since this will be my first year collecting seeds

@rennezoe my email is accounting129@yahoo.com, just get in contact with me and I will send you some of anything you like! I've got a lot of these drying out now, so they'll probably be ready in a week or so. I love sweet pea lol! I've never had much luck with it, but I'd love to try again :) anything you see of mine that you'd like, just send me a list through email and I'll get them together for you.
