Front row is from "pink" seeds, back rows are from "red Indian shot". I gave up on the seeds labeled "peach" and replanted the flat with castor beans. At the end of last week I saw a canna emerging.
Last month I planted 5 seeds from a seed exchange: "red". One has emerged.

Look at the leaves in this picture. I think we have disproved the theory that the virus is not transmitted through the seeds. As the season progresses I will discard anything that looks disreputable. I don't want to infect a "Tropicanna" that was recently sent to me.
