Germinating now- - photos of seedlings

Very nice Siri. 
So far I've had no success with seed from another source

If you have trouble with damping off of newly germinated seedlings, use one of the various products based on the Trichoderma fungus. Trichoderma is a genus of well over 200 species of fungus but they are benign, or rather they act in a beneficial way towards other plants, colonising the available space before harmful fungi can do so. Lots about it in a couple of other threads on the Forum. Maggi will be able to find them. It works!!!

Ranzania japonica, seeds from Gothentburg botanical.

I got seeds from there too, and they germinated readily as soon as I sowed them, some seeds even had roots forming when they arrived damp packed. I had tried twice from dry seeds with no germination, so I'm very happy about these seedlings now.
Maybe this is one of the species which germinates only from fresh or damp packed seeds..

This rather dull looking seedling is Cubanola domingensis.........................
(Attachment Link)

Rather pleased as I bought the seeds three years ago, germinated a few and then mislaid them. Lost one of this latest sowing due to the seed coat not releasing the embryonic leaves, but there is this one plus another one germinating.

One month on and the second set of leaves are showing.....................


It is painfully slow growing. Here is a three year old seedling..................


Watsonia lepida seedlings...................

I "scored" two one hundred litre bags of bean bag filling on Freegle. Ideal substitute for buying Perlite.

Some of the seeds had already germinated upon arrival here too.

I have so far not had any success in germinating the rest of the seeds, though. Maybe I shoud just be happy with the ones I've got, but...

(And Gothentburg - there must be something wrong with my keyboard.)

Three of the seeds had roots already when they arrived, but when I had potted them, only one sprouted, the other two never came up. 
I sowed the other seeds (the ones with no roots) to a separate pot and they started to come up in a week or two, can't remember now. I had kept the pot inside in about +18°C .
I hope the rest of your seeds still germinate.

[Siri K]

Thanks! 

So far still no luck.

Aconitum episcopale from Chiltern.

Trillium kurabayashii germinating in the garden.

[Siri K]

Right.

That's why they are so cheap.

Tropaeolum speciosum seedlings, seed sown 11/24/12, given winter and summer temperatures, but not colder than 25F, mix kept moist.  Germinated 3/10/14, transplanted yesterday.

I guess it has a lot to do with the seed you've got. Not necessarily the seed source; the quality may vary.

Even our Norwegian local seed hero Magnar was happy when he got seeds of Ranzania that woud germinate.

So - try again!
