It might be a stupid question, but do the seeds grow inside these bulbs? I mean can we still get the seeds if the bulbs are removed, which might explain why the bulbs are exotic?Sighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949737485794919264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-13749928301863606912011-02-03T23:48:18.164+05:302011-02-03T23:48:18.164+05:30Love the "paint and petroleum derivative desc...Love the "paint and petroleum derivative description :) and didnt we love inhaling petrol fumes when we were children ;)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-29832685124211720382011-02-02T12:57:49.352+05:302011-02-02T12:57:49.352+05:30Cooking for 8 is definitely no easy task.
