I’ve never seen cactus seedlings before! How neat!

Echinocereus reichenbachii
The cotyledons disappear quickly under the growing cacti.

Taraxacum albidum, from fresh seed of my own.  Dried 3 days, then planted.  The two pots that I covered the seed with soil have yet to emerge.  These were uncovered, except a light top dress of #1 granite grit.  One came up early, in about 5-6 weeks? (I stopped diligently checking after one month.)  All the rest emerged in 8 weeks. This did coincide with a week of cooler weather (24-30C highs), after a month of warm (30-35C).

And hopefully no "helpful" person comes along and weeds them out!

Back in reply #948 I posted pics of the "community seed-box" after a mishap.
I'm hoping that these deep green leaves are seedlings of a Sternbergia hybrid which I got from Kurt Vickery

Am I being delusional to think that one of these two seedlings could be a gentian?
Seed-label says: Gentiana verna alba sown in 2004

Sorry I can't give a reliable ID but you certainly deserve one Fermi, after 14 years waiting :o ;D

Whenever my garden is on tour, the description in the write up always begins with: "Please don't pull the weeds!  I grow alpine dandelions and other weedy subjects."  In fact, Fibigia clypeata is one of the most favorably commented on plants in the garden!

Great, ebbie. I suppose you have had more than one flowering plant and cross pollinated it?

No, I had only one plant. Tulipa regelii is obviously self-fertile.

Hi Ashley,
I had actually oversown it with a monocot a few years ago but that didn't germinate either!

Here are some (hopefully) more reliably labelled seedlings!
1) Penstemon azureus - Alplains seed 2017 sown 24-03-2018 first seedling late July
2) Crocus rhodensis - Marcus Harvey via Jacqui 2017 sown 14-04-2018 first seedling 22-07-18
3) Fritillaria stribrnyi - Paul & Colin via Roy P 2017 sown 9-04-2018 first seedling 22-07-2018
4) Fritillaria rixii  - P & C sown 5-04-2018 first seedling 6-08-2018
5) Fritillaria ehrhartii - P & C sown 9-04-2018 first seedling 2-08-2018
cheers

An aside : interestingly enough, fermi's "sideways" thumbnails are righting themselves on my screen when I enlarge them!

Hi Maggi,
I was going to ask for your help but when I clicked on the thumbnail it righted itself!
And yes, the originals were on their sides

Hi Ashley,
one reason I try to be patient with some seeds is that years after sowing conditions may suddenly be right for germination:
1) Iris pumila AGS Sdx 2011
2) Iris barnumae from M. Kammerlander via Otto, sown 15-06-2008
cheers
