Hi Everyone,

Behaviour of Pinellias might be better in colder areas, here in Germany o=nly pedadisecta and ternata are known for their tendency to spread, while=tripartita and cordata are more brave, the latter not even totally hardy.
Did anyone of you notice the flower scent of P. pedadisecta? I think it's=most amusing, sonetime resembling ripe fruit, sometimes rotting bananas.=Pollination must be by fruit fl or something similar.

Best regards from Munich !

Michael
