Hi all,
 
Has anyone, by chance come across a photo or illustration of this
species anywhere on the net?  I have found photos of C. blephraospermous
and C. quadrifidus, and an illustration of C. sanguineus, but nothing
for C. villosus.  Or, if not, alternatively, could someone tell me if it
is perhaps similar in appearance to any of the 3 I did find?  The
description in the catalog I ordered the seeds from (JLHudson) is,
"Prettiest of all, with rich deep red flowers, followed by woody seed
cases, and soft, hairy, pine-like foliage.  Showy.  West Australia."
 
At this point, I have tiny seedlings that seem to be growing VERY
slowly.  Any specific cultural suggestions? (Yes, I do have the very
good Australian Plants Online and related SGAP, etc. info and am
carefully perusing it).
 
TIA for anything additional anyone can provide.
 
Ken Osborn
