    Hi

    I planted honesty seeds in one area earlier in the year and when a few seedlings came up they looked like those I saw on the internet when i googled honesty seedlings. But I haven't seen any sign of blooms at any time and there aren't any stems to speak of, and then we had family round last weekend they said they weren't like the honesty they knew. So now I'm wondering if I've got an imposter. The leaf shapes look a bit like on the internet but they are pretty big, 20cm plus long, so I'm not sure now.

    Please reassure me or tell me what infiltrator I have!

    thanks
    Gavin.

            Brilliant! Many thanks - can't wait for them to get pretty in the next year or two.
