Olga Bondareva:
Brian
Thanks for your detailed recommendations! Your method is the same to mine I use generally. Last year I sowed Shizocodon soldanelloides but no seedlings appeared. With two months in refrigerator to.
I have a good place for such kind of plants among ferns, hostas and epimediums. But no seeds.
Diane
Does this Botanical Garden have a website? Hope their seeds are fresh.
Maggi
Thanks again. :)

Olga, this will help you to know the Göteborg Botanic Garden :
http://w3.goteborg.se/botaniska/engelska/english_start.html
or if you prefer the Swedish pages:http://www.srgc.org.uk/feature/sandymay06/content.html
See this feature by Sandy Leven on the SRGC site:

There are also references in many places in Ian's Bulb Log and if the Forum, old and new!
Gerben Tjeerdsma from GotBot makes posts here, also.

Lovely to see your picture on the side there Diane. Wow! All that gorgeous hair!
Diane Whitehead:
There is a place on the Göteborg website where you can sign up to join the Konnässörsklubben (I think that means Connoisseur's Club) and then you will be mailed a seed catalogue with coloured pictures. Some of the seeds are of common plants like pansies, snapdragons and tagetes. It is written in Swedish, but I can understand a lot of it as many words are similar to English.
I think they also have a seedlist that is distributed to other botanic gardens and serious growers (maybe plant experimenters) - their Index Seminum, but I have never seen a copy.

I can probably supply seed of Ranzania in mid-July. I believe that if they are sown immediately they may germinate within two weeks. However, sometimes they will wait until next spring. Ranzania is surprising hardy and survives well in mid-Sweden. If you want seed,please let me know in the beginning of July.
