Sweet little thing Chris. I sowed some Dianthus seed about three weeks ago (can't remember the sub-species) and have good germination and have taken them into the greenhouse now. How long did you leave them in the seed pot please?

David, I usually sow into those tiny pots and then repot the lot into a bigger one when I can see roots at the bottom.  I rarely prick out individual plants as I really don't want a load of pots hanging round and that way I get a 'clump' to start with.  it took a long time to flower, but now it has done i'm going to move the entire plant to a more appropriate spot, probably one of my new sinks that I'm going to make this summer, but if not, perhaps to a pot so I could show it maybe sometime.  Flowers are wonderful.... hope yours does as well.

Fred,

Thanks for the info re your Darlingtonia cultivation.  I may just try some.  I saw a couple for sale recently (won't even think about the price!  :-\) but wasn't sure how to grow them.  I've never managed to keep Cephalotus alive, so I would love to know how you grow it successfully. :'(

Yes, in Russia, these mushrooms are edible. Boil them twice, and then used to prepare different dishes.
I read that in Germany some of the spring mushrooms are poisonous, but in our country they are very tasty.
