Germinating now?

[Rodger Whitlock]

Just for the record: in the last week, the following have germinated here:

• Acis tingitana
• Alstroemeria hookeri
• Anomatheca laxa 'Joan Evans'
• Eranthis hyemalis 'Orange Glow' (only one seed up)
• Acis trichophylla
• Acis autumnalis 'September Snow'
• Asarum hartwegii

very excited/relieved to see germination on Corydalis nobilis, seed from kristl, sown last fall--along with several other woodlanders; it was my first time with this sort of overwintered outdoors sowing, and there were several issues--sudden deep cold just after sowing, some issues of placement, possible cat interference, too little or too much leaf mulching etc, so i am happy to see germination on at least one of the pots..time will tell on the others...
also germination on several different pulsatillas sown near/after frost time last fall and overwintered plunged, with baggies..also seeing germination of self sown pulsatilla in several pots of natives etc which were near the at that time potted pulsas....

Last year one seedling emerged from this pot of Iris attica seed but it died during the summer. Fortunately more have germinated with the onset of cooler weather!


On the weekend I found that this pot of Delosperma cooperi from SRGC Seedex 2008 had finally decided to germinate Another reason not to empty pots too soon!

An update: today I noticed that one of my Davidia seeds had germinated 
I think each seed can give more tha one seedling

a few things germinating now in pots i put out in early/mid spring--these were things that needed cold stratification, mostly, and i was worried i was getting them out too late, since it was seasonally warm then--well,'luckily' we had plenty of chilly weather after that! so they have been up over 20C and down below freezing (initial period was probably mostly below freezing in the late snow patch behind the house..)
up now, some just beginning:
Cymopterus planosus, Eriogonum ovalifolium (alplains)
Chaenomeles japonica, Viburnum lentago, Iris setosa ssp canadensis, Anthriscus 'ravenswing' (kristl-gardens north)--oh, not just starting, but a nice big pot full of Corydalis nobilis from kristl sown late last year
Nassauvia and Leucheria spp (Holubec--a thrill, since i have had almost no results from my patagonian seeds there might be beginnings on a couple of other things, too small to tell yet..

i think Tulipa sprengeri and Iris chrysographes--(seed from forumists) may be starting... also Elaeagnus umbellata, from a private trade....

This pot of Allium chamaemoly seed sown fresh 2 years ago chose this winter to germinate as well!

It seems to be a good time for Alliums!
Firstly, Allium nuttallii (from Kurt Vickery, Monocot Specialist)


Allium crenulatum from SRGC Seedex 2010


as well as Allium stellatum,


while, this Allium flavum v. tauricum came from NARGS Sdx 2010,


From Gardens North (thanks Kristl) this Cercidiphyllum japonicum, germinating like cress!


More from SRGC 2010:
Fritillaria karelinii


Tropaeolum beuthii

and look at the roots already coming out of the drainage holes! Having only been sown 2 months ago.


and lastly, Rhodophiala mendocina

Some good stuff coming up there Fermi!  Please note that the name Allium "nuttallii" is a synonym, the actual species name is Alllium drummondii.  It's a nice small species from southwestern USA, one that I have tried several times but cannot grow here

What is the whole plant like Fermi, and the flowers? I love Salvias.

Today I noticed that one seed in my pot of tropaeoleum azureum (from Kurt Vickery) has germinated  .
I will try to keep it growing outdoors until the temperature starts to drop below zero and then move the pot inside (and keep my finger crossed)

[Cris]

Fermi, did the Narcissus germinated?

One more question: now that the Rodophiala germinated, when will you water them? I've some to sow and I'm a bit worried about the water.
