    Hello everyone. I am Calin. Male. 31. And apparently interested in plants. I lived for 5 years in Asia - S Korea, China and Taiwan. Especially in Taiwan I grew fond of exotic plants and even more of plants that produce fruit.
    My latest craze is passiflora group. Passion flower.
    I brought home some seeds from Taiwan but I had no luck germinating them. I guess they were too old by the time I planted them or the time/conditions weren't right.
    Still, I wanna try again.
    I can only grow them in pots...but it's worth giving it a try.
    I am looking for seeds of varieties that make really big/showy/colorful flowers.
    Anyone can help me.
    I'd love to trade, but I am just starting this and I have nothing to trade. Except for some bitter melon seeds. But who wants them?
    I am open to any suggestions. And if there is something you need from this part of the world... let me know and I will try to find it for you.
    Please hurry if you have seeds of nice passiflora as I'd like to plant them ASAP.
    THANKS ALL,
    Calin
