Free reign to spend!!! I always manage to kid myself that I'm actually saving money by spending more with that kind of offer. Will you be needing even more new staging to house them all? :o)

You won't have problems with their seeds, Weemamabell. Well, I've never had. My wife was getting concerned by all the seeds and plants arriving almost on a daily basis last month. I had to put her mind at rest by reminding here that these were actually my Xmas pressies finally arriving (I like Christmas in April/May, I've decided).

Sounds like you should have a beautiful display - particularly from Blackmore&Langdons picotees. For a garden display i'm sure they will look brilliant.
Mine are 99% named varieties because i show them, i think they are supposed to be the biggest and best boomed plants as when they find a show plant they take cuttings off it, in effect anyone buying that named variety is buying a piece of that original plant. Growing from seed means it won't be the same as the original (or so i'm told). However, you might find a show plant in your seed, if you do take cuttings, grow that variety on for (i think it's 5 years, not sure) to make sure it's consistent, after that name it, register it, and sell the cutting tubers - Blackmores charge £30 for their new varieties. If i see a weemamabell Begonia i shall know where it came from, lol :-D
