Poor Man’s Orchid/Butterfly Flower seeds. (Schizanthus porrigens) 蛾蝶花的種子.

Alpine annual with orchid like flowers.  Mature size:2′-3′(H) X 2′-3′(W).  Easy to grow from seeds.  Best growing in full sun to partial shade location but tolerant light shade.  Flowers attract bees, butterflies and birds.  Propagate from seeds.  These are going to give me some colour in early winter indoors!  🙂

茄科蛾蝶花屬的一年生或二年生草花.  花形似蘭故有窮人的蘭花之稱.  成熟株高2-3呎,寬幅亦同.  容易由種子栽種.  最好種在全日照到半日照處,但它也能在散光處生長.  花吸引蜂蝶及鳥類.  繁殖以種子為主.  期待室內它們初冬的花朵!  🙂
