I am the same as you guys. This years seedlings are doing quite well. The ones I overwintered in the house are also doing OK. But the ones...
Victoria - what a wonderful roadside wild flower. We just have to be grateful for dandelions here. :snork: I hadn't realised it originated in...
M - that first one is lovely. It looks like Gladiolus byzantinus, which is essentially a wild flower from the Mediterranean area. They seem to be...
I agree with Jazz. For me, Pieris is very slow growing, so I would suggest you don't prune it at all unless you really have to.
I grew several from seed this year, but they all died way before they could reach 2 feet. Does anyone know why? None of the sites I have Googled...
I am trying to germinate a batch of seeds - so most interested in your comments. But it sounds like a long job.
Thank you wardley - lovely, especially that first picture - I wish my garden looked like that in winter - in fact I wish my garden looked like...
Kristen - I didn't realise that - thank you. It explains where the first leaf will come from - I was expecting to see a single cotylodon leaf, and...

I have finally got an answer. When I saw a second green tip emerging from a potted up germinated seed , I knew I had a spare so I remove one of...

Many thanks for having a look into that Kristen.
Simbad - that's lovely. Most unusual shape and colour for a Campanula.
Thats a very kind offer Kristen. I was wondering how yours got on. I suspect I will have loads of seedlings, as Nature is quite capable of...
That Fritillaria is lovely Longk. I have just grown F. Imperialis and F. Persica for the first time this year (after planting last autumn). But...
Thanks Strongy - I am sure nature has a way. What amazes me is how tough the seed case is. I just can't break it. I am also amazed at the high...
LongK - I have just noticed I called you Kristen - my apologies. It was too early in the morning. :biggrin:
Many thanks Kristen. That's very pretty. I was down at Hill House Nursery only a couple of weeks ago. Its really exciting to look round, with...
Thanks Shiney. The first ones were all set pointing down, and just seem to have done nothing. Luckily I had 40 seeds and they have kept...
Its the first two LongK, both now and before. I see that they were uploaded to GC itself, however I have had the feeling in the past that pictures...
