scape 1. n. 1. Botany A leafless flower stalk growing directly from the ground, as in the tulip. 2. Biology A stalklike part, such as a feather shaft or the first segment of an insect's antenna.
Propagation: The sensitive plant is most often grown from seeds. Pink flowers produce seeds. Sow the seeds in moist peat moss and perlite, and place clear plastic above the planting medium, as seeds need a lot of moisture to sprout. Expect the seeds to sprout in 14 to 21 days.
Timing. Certain plants take years to grow to maturity and even longer to produce seeds. For instance, the Hinahina plant of Hawaii blooms once every 40 years and then dies. Forty years is a long time for a plant to go undisturbed by man or beast.iming. Certain plants take years to grow to maturity and even longer to produce seeds.
