Seed germination and seedlings

[razvan chisu]

Seeds of Narcissus rupicola (received from Rafa in Spain) and Cyclamen coum (last year's AGS seed exchange) continue to germinate. Both species were sown at the beginning of February. Next week I'll post some pictures and information on seedlings of Salvia hydrangea, Trolius chinensis and several Peonies.

Rafa, I see that you like many of the items on Ratko's list that we like here, also.
You have a lot of good things germinating there, you will be pleased to see them begin to grow.

It took about one and a half months for the cyclamen coum seeds to germinate. I now have growing: coum ssp coum, coum ex BSBE, coum plain leafed, coum white fl, coum Blush, coum caucasicum, coum coum pallidum Album, coum magenta, coum Roseum and coum Silver group, all received from the AGS seed exchange.

Hello,

Here two chaotic (as I' am) seedlings, first box with Narcissus confusus, Gladiolus illyricus, Romulea bulbocodium, and behind Iris xiphium, Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, Fritillaria lusitanica. Theses species were collected in the same places, so I put them in little comunities as they grow.

Do you sow the seeds mixed and then plant them as they are?

[Rafa]

Yes, it is, after they grow I select the better bulbs and I put together as a comunity pot.
