Hi Jeff:

I have a few tropicals, but nothing as exotic as you have or are looking for. I have 5 or 6 brugs, a few vigna caracalla, and a few mandevilla...pretty run of the mill kinda stuff. I've purchased seeds for a few tropicals ( musa velutina, tacca both black and white) and have had no luck germinating them, despite repeated attempts.

I have started two different types of hibiscus - Luna and Jamaican Cocktail. I am very excited to see what flowers I get, although I'm afraid I will be waiting awhile as they are only 1-3" tall now...
