I found a sack of wildflower seeds from 20 years ago...decided to spread them out in a meadow out back...hardy buggers...I got all sorts of cutting flowers and left many to go to seed for next year...
Thanks for posting...I had no idea seeds had such long shelf lives...

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
