I sowed Cleome seeds, aka Spider plants twice already. I did not having much success. I sowed a bunch of Cleome seeds that I harvested last fall and none had came up. Eventually about 6 came up. Then I decided to sow the remainder of the seeds I had left over from the 2008 season. Only a few came up. I was quite bummed because I loved these flowers.
I was walking through the gardens with dad yesterday when he pointed out all the little seedlings in the Heirloom garden. He asked me what they were, and I was at a loss. I had no idea. I had not planted anything in the Heirloom garden this season. I had to think about the flowers that were there last season. After a some thought and investigation work I believe that I have Cosmo and Cleome seedlings coming up, in abundance. I knew that they were perennials, however I thought that they needed a warmer climate. We had a very cold winter so this is a shock to me.
I apologize for the blurry photo, but this is a Cosmo seedling.
Here is a good photo of a larger Cleome seedling with many more smaller seedlings all around.

Thank you for the cleome and cosmos seedlings!!!

Yes, and your welcome. I can still give you some seeds if you like, maybe you will have better luck with the harvested seeds than I did. I was told Aunt Eunice also had White Cleomes.
