i started a bird of paradise 3 years ago, it took 7 months to germ.
and its now 3 years old and only 10", but i have potted it on, and hope it start shooting up this year.
just saying these seeds, if started would take 3 years or so before they proper start to bush, and the seeds are hard to start, 10 times longer and harder than cannabis, if so try to get already rooted cuttings.
ask a neighbour for a cutting, or just take one from what ever tree you like. if you can.
if i ever see a flower shrub tree i like in a garden, i knock on the door and ask if i may have a cutting.
they always say yes.

Fly traps are actually considered to be flowers, believe it or not, but they are a very cool plant to have around...a definite "Room- Enhancer" as I like to call them lol.

About the maypops, "passiflora incarnata", they grow wild here N.Texas as well, We grow them and collect seed to re"scatter" evry year., Problem is they are a very vigorous vine that can stretch maybe 20-30 feet and have footlong internodes. They are great to plant on a wall fence or another tree, but will give a problem near other things , under HID lamps. Sure pretty though, and make a nice sedative tea, kind of opposite to coffee.It is the most common mild sedative in Germany, even used for pregnant women jitters, whatever that is called. Safer than ritalin and all that other sh-t we see in the states, for ADD and stuff.Grow it in the outdoor garden, 1 seedpod will give several hundred seeds, germ rate is not perfect tho, or maybe its just how I plant em.Scattered on about 6.8ph clay loam soil, and water down one time. I talk too much. SeeYa
