I grew up on a farm, I am growing some veggies right now (have some radishes going NUTS right now) but  I like to Bonsai.  Since I am no longer on a farm it is nice to just grow something 'just because' :D  Here is am example, granted this is a rental but there will be a lot of these seeds not only going with me but going to several people around the states (at least when the seed pod dries!).  My Mom-in-Law told me the trick to these wonderful flowers.  You HAVE to let the pod dry, completely.  Collect the seeds and keep them in the garage (or similar) for the entire winter. Sow with just a tad of dirt over them in the early spring, past frost.  Simple.  Then you get these!
