Mine aren’t sprouting- it’s too cold but I see yours are on the window cill

@sharonhayden i started them in a heated propagator to make sure i got them going. slowly they'll be working their way down stairs when its slightly less "northern" weather 😂

I know the bloody north!!

I’ve got some seeds somewhere- need to get going

Eek!! Aren't they just phenomenal? 🙃

I adore mine @KariSamuel thankyou x 💞🧘‍♂️👌👍✌

Seed collection is super easy peasy too! It makes my heart so happy, that my plants are across the pond! 🤩💖😘

Mine too @KariSamuel mine too x 🧘‍♂️👌👊👍✌

Beautiful 😍

I love those!! The foliage is beautiful. Great photo 👍🏻👍🏻🤗😊💕

That’s gorgeous ❤️

😍😍😍 I miss having them in my garden 😍😍😍 Such a dramatic plant and so easy to look after.

Looking good Sean. When did you sow them?

9 weeks back @rachelbrooks 👌👍✌

Ta Sean. Only did mine a couple of weeks ago 🙈 although if they keep going at their current rate it won’t take them long to get this big!

@rachelbrooks their astonishing! Hope mine doesn't reach 10ft i don't have room lol

Ooh that’s very encouraging! I did mine in between the 9 and Rachel’s 2 weeks ago😃 Really glad you posted this Sean xx @rachelbrooks

Me neither Sean! 🙈😂 no idea where they’re going to go!! Isn’t it amazing Claude?! We might have them soon! 🤞🏼👏🏼 @clipperty

Be prepared! I'm glad i only sowed one. "Miss Borisina horrobin" isnt going to be small lol.

@KariSamuel looking nice 👍👌✌

Indeed it is! The flowers and seed balls that it produces is worth it!

Very healthy and I love the purple leaved plant one in the background too. I had one years ago. Suspect it went to the garden in the sky 😉😂

Hahaha its a 'purple passion' plant, stunning colours just weedy flowers lol. @awomanonabike my lil' ricinus (Borisina horrobin) is doing really well, I'm chuft 😍🤩✌👌

Stunning colour. Are they little pink flowers? 🌸 Well done 👍

No there a sorta little dandelion, not very nice compared with the foliage lol

Is that the same one you posted last week??

Sure is @kez001uk 👌😎

@Sephy they don’t waste any time so they 😲

Not in a warm window it seems haha @kez001uk . Ive named her Borisina Horobin lol my lil' poisonous buddy 😝😂👌

@Sephy I love that name 😂 hi Borisina 👋🏻

Yay! Checked on mine today and they’ve germinated too 😁 a way behind yours though. Love the pinkness 😅

@KariSamuel hey thankyou, success! I hope you got your things x

@kez001uk i cant wait! Eeeeekk! Hope yours comes through well too 👍👌✌
