Seedlings December 2007

I thought it was winter here in holland but the new seedlings have started growing outside, just after a little cold period. They are Galanthis nivalis, Eremurus, frit Persica and Hyancinthoides even the Alliums have started.

Hi

It's great to see those little plants to grow. I've also some seedlings and I like to be apreciating them.

I confess that I have no idea what they are, but they are bulb seedlings and there are a lot of them! Possibly from a mixed bulbs packet from Plant World seeds in Devon.

How did they look like when you sew them?

[Casalima]

I originally sowed the seeds a few years ago   and they lived in the little green tray, growing every year, drying out horribly in the summer, but reappearing regularly every year. This year, I finally decided to sort out the tray. There were a few real small bulbs, clearly not all the same (see photo - I should have taken a photo of them before I replanted them) and lots of seeds and mini-mini bulbs. Lots of the seeds were shaped like slightly flattened teardrops.

They look more like a Narcis then a snowdrop, they have not flowered yet?
Maybe next springtime you will have the first flowers.
