Wow, a sort of semi-double Silene? I never saw that before.

Thanks for helping John, but I am sure it is not Silene dioicia 'Firefly' as you suggested. Look here.

What you see is a double-flowered form of Silene, which Maggi and myself did not have seen before.

Thanks, Oron!   I don't know this lovely plant at all- I'll be looking out for it now, though.

That's it. Wonderful Oron. Thanks a lot. A plant worth to be propagated.

When seeds are ripe, I'll collect them and send to you, if you want, Maggi and Oron.

Gerrit,
many thanks for your kind offer but i think this species would not like the dry and hot conditions down here. :-\
