Native Plants from Seed

Sometimes it is hard to find the native plants you are looking for.

Seeds can be your answer.

I've admired the bladder pod and fairy duster (Calliandra ssp) in a friend's yard. This summer I asked if I could gather some seed from their plants.

I scattered a few seeds in some pots and watched over them. To my happy surprise, I have small plants.

They aren't quite ready to put in the ground, but some are ready to be moved to their own pots.

Seeds represent future possibility. Not sure what to get someone as a small gift - How about seeds?
