I thought it was winter here in holland but the new seedlings have started growing outside, just after a little cold period. They are Galanthis nivalis, Eremurus, frit Persica and Hyancinthoides even the Alliums have started.

I confess that I have no idea what they are, but they are bulb seedlings and there are a lot of them! Possibly from a mixed bulbs packet from Plant World seeds in Devon.

How did they look like when you sew them?

I originally sowed the seeds a few years ago  :o and they lived in the little green tray, growing every year, drying out horribly in the summer, but reappearing regularly every year. This year, I finally decided to sort out the tray. There were a few real small bulbs, clearly not all the same (see photo - I should have taken a photo of them before I replanted them) and lots of seeds and mini-mini bulbs. Lots of the seeds were shaped like slightly flattened teardrops.

They look more like a Narcis then a snowdrop, they have not flowered yet?
Maybe next springtime you will have the first flowers.
