I cant say that I have seen the difference in male and female flowers - I know they only last a day at most - the ground is littered with fallen flowers. If it is hot and humid you might succeed! By the way those amaranth keep getting chewed up by bugs - they must think it is a new imported treat for them! At the moment they are just red stalks :) I will try some more seeds as the weather cools down.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-8320613473688569132011-01-29T20:44:38.311+10:002011-01-29T20:44:38.311+10:00You will be surprised to know that I am trying to ...You will be surprised to know that I am trying to grow a loofa in Tasmania! Someone gave me a seedling, It has grown right to the top of my little hothouse and now has a flower! I think it will need a male and female flower to make a loofs but hey, I am pretty pleased anyway.

Mine just started to flower but only the female flower bloom, so I don't think it was pollinated.Thank you for sharing this post. I would like to trade your loofah seeds with my evening sun sunfower seeds. I have other seeds that you are welcome too. My email is diana.demiyah@gmail.com . Living in Australia, we cannot receive seeds from overseas. I am happy to meet a blogger friend in Australia that I can do seed exchange with :).Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-49379618968489500472011-01-27T11:29:43.908+10:002011-01-27T11:29:43.908+10:00Congratulations on your great success with loofah;...Congratulations on your great success with loofah; a tasty and useful plant. <br /><br />Diana gave me those evening sunflower seeds in December and they are growing beautifully.
