Roma,
How do you buy seeds from Gothenburg?  I looked on their website once for a seed list, but couldn't find any info.

[Roma]

Carolyn,
I'd forgotten how I did it but checked last night.  On the website go to Shop & Sales then click on Connoisseur Club.  You can register there.  The seed sales are closed for this year.

[Carolyn]

Thanks, Roma, I'll try that for next year.

I did not sow these myself, just nature going it's own way, but a nice patch of allium ursinum in the make

Sweet pea seedlings just coming through, sowed in loo roll tubes, environmentally friendly or what also I have learned a lesson this week, always keep seed pots for at least three years from sowing, I sowed some iris magnafica seeds about two years or so ago and I was just about to throw away the contents when I noticed this little seedling coming through.

Knocked off work early today and it was still light when I got home! Amazing! I even found a few minutes to take some photos of the seed nursery.

Albuca namaquensis, thank you Anthony Darby.
Astragalaus coccineus, just one up so far but more should follow!
Canarina canariensis, the 3rd or 4th time I've tried this and finally success!
Cyrtanthus mackenii, again thank you Anthony.

Ralph,

The Gray Pine seedlings look great! Be mindful about where you plant them. The cones on mature trees are large and heavy with pitch - something that you do not want falling on your head!

I have a hunch that they will need no irrigation ever in the U.K.

Cardiocrinum cordatum sown two years ago is germinating now.
What should I do with them, when is the right time to prick them to separate pots or should I grow them together, and if, for how long?

[Matt T]

A few days away does wonders for germination. Although, I think it has more to do with me not checking the pots everyday!

Aster alpinus from Gothenburg seed.
I've shown these Hepatica nobilis from home grown seed before, but hadn't been expecting true leaves until next year, so these are a nice surprise.
Limonium companyonis from an Aussie friend.
Muscari leucostomum and Petrocoptis pryenaica glaucifolia from SRGC Seed Ex 2014/15.
