Seedlist Bjørnar Olsen

[GordonT]

Gabriela  and all: I do hope my comments are not taken as finger pointing, it was not my intent. I collect seeds myself, and know it is often difficult to determine when the seed is mature enough to be viable. I have had challenges with only a few Arisaema species from several sources(mainly Arisaema griffithii, and Arisaema nepenthoides). I have come to believe that seeds of some species lose viability with dry storage. I did check the pots, and it looks like the seed rotted away. In any case, I haven't discarded the  pots, in case there are some surprises next year. I am slowly building a collection of the genus from seed sown plants (amurense, candidissimum, ciliatum, ciliatum var liubaense, consanguineum, costatum, erubescens, fargesii,flavum, griffithii var. pradhanii,jacquemontii, nepenthoides, ovatum, sikokianum, tortuosum. Still looking for Arisaema heterophyllum, serratum var mayebarae, speciosum, utile and others.

Has anyone had better results with Arisaema seed from trillium.no?

The Arisaema seeds have been problematic, "common knowledge" up until last year seemed to be that all Arisaema in sect. Arisaema could withstand drying out. That, as many of you discovered, is not the case.  Only those who ordered and received their seeds at the very start of last season seemed to get any germination.

I've tried moist packing them this season, and if that doesn't help I will have to drop this genus as well.

last i ordered from you Arisaema dilatatum, i put them in vermiculite mixture, placed 2 weeks in the fridge and 60-70% germinated. Afterthat i took the seedlings and put them in pot with a 1-1-1 vermiculite-perlite-grit. Same treatment for Trillium.

The disavantage of this method is the needing of fertilizer but it works for me.

Hei Bjørnar,

blir det noen liste før jul?

 (- any seedlist before Xmas-)

[arisaema]

I'm slowly getting there, gone from A to N in three days, so I'm hoping it will be done sometime this week Changing from Paypal's own shopping cart system to Tinycart, which is loads of extra work this season, but should speed things up next year.

Thanks Matt, I was just headed here with the same message from Bjørnar

Finally got it online, sorry for both the delay and the unfinished look - I am getting orders, so at least it's working!

Wanted to share the good news after placing a small order myself, although someone was even quicker off the mark than I was, as mine is order #2
