Are you sure you wanna grow this stuff? It smells pretty bad (some say the plant smells like rotten gym socks), it gets really big, and all the leaves are covered with a resin that gets on you and your clothes and won't come off.

If not for those two factors I'd probably grow some too.

They sound like fun. I grow Proboscidea parviflora var. hohokamiana and it's a pretty plant. P. louisianica can seed itself making it invasive.

Ibicella lutea grows in my coutry (Argentina) but it only appears in summer (dicember to march). It's considered as a plague. lol

i used to have a couple of plants. If i get some seeds this summer I'll let you know.

And it's true... they smell really bad. hehe
