This year's puzzle seeds.
« on: April 03, 2012, 12:20 »

Last year you did very well identifying the seeds I picked up in a hardware shop in Greece as Lupins the farmers grew as fodder for their animals and later the seedlings confirmed this.



Here's this years quizz.   I have no idea at all but the're going in the pots this afternoon.    ::)    Cheers,     Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

I'd say they're ancient lima beans.

I'd say they might be Bauhinia - a lovely scented tropical tree!!
