Dennis, thanks for sending those Milla magnifica and other seeds to the BX. And thanks, Dell, for doing such a huge job. I knew I would be out of town most of June, so I didn't sow my Milla until July 20. The first one sprouted Saturday August 2nd and when I left for work this morning (Monday the 4th) there were a total of 5 up. Interesting how they emerge with a hair-pin curve, a the slightly thicker red stem pointing up and the bright green leaf pointing down.
