(I posted something similar on the Nargs forum.)
Photos of astragalus seedlings, both from collections made last century. Nicked and soaked within the last three weeks.
First,
Astragalus hirticalyx
, from a Jurasek collection in 1991 or 1992.
Second,
Astragalus sobolevskiae
, from a Halda collection in 1995.
Photographed on wet filter paper.
Neither the Kew herbarium site nor Plantarium has images of
A. sobolevskiae
.

Some gentians, sown at 55-65F, GA-3 solution dripped on the soil mix, covered with transparent propagation dome, placed under fluorescent lights. All germinated in 2-3 weeks. All have received one feed of dilute soluble fertilizer. Moss and algae start growing as soon as fertilizer is applied. You need to keep the plants growing faster than the moss.

A fresh batch of Physoplexis comosa:
Note the gigantic perlite and vermiculite boulders.
I love digital photography. Can you tell?

Campanula cochlearifolia alba, one month from sowing of seed:
They are nearly ready for transplanting. Some of them will bloom this summer.
When growing white forms from seed, I discovered that I should not discard the smaller, weaker seedlings, because they might be the white ones. The blue ones grow a lot faster.

Incarvillea mairei 'Frank Ludlow', seed purchased from Jack Drake around 1988, stored in freezer, sown one week ago at 15C, placed under lights:
Saxifraga arendsii, sown two weeks ago at 15C, placed under lights:
A huge range of seeds germinates well under fluorescent lights, even the ones that Deno says require darkness.

Some tiny babies:
Phyllodoce empetriformis, seed collected in Cascade mts; surface-sow; 2 weeks at 60F:
Gentianopsis crinita: surface-sow, apply GA-3 to soil surface; 2 weeks at 60F:
Phyteuma scheuchzeri: surface-sow; 2 weeks at 60F:
Physoplexis comosa: seeds garden-collected; surface-sow; apply GA-3 to soil surface; 2 weeks at 60F:
My seedling farm:
Temperature: 55-65F (13-18C). Fan above the lights gives a little gentle air flow over the plants. I don't leave it on all the time. Transparent propagation dome keeps humidity high around germinating seeds, without the use of plastic bags. Hooks and chains let me adjust height of fixtures. Foil-covered insulating foam (barely visible at back) reflects light back to the plants. By Spring, these plants will think they are a year old, and many will bloom this Summer. Stresses and hazards are nearly eliminated in this system.

and

'Gold Back' ex Crete
From SRGC seed exchange 2013/14:
Crocus speciosus

One of our California native perennials:
Lupinus albifrins var. collinus
I start many of our native annuals in seed pans too. They are started about 1 October. They are all up and growing now and will be moved into the garden as soon as possible. When the native annuals are happy they reseed themselves without my help. If all goes right the spring show can be very nice.

Germinating now is
Crocus mathewii
from the Crocus Group seed exchange. This pot was actually upset by the wind soon after sowing, spilling the contents everywhere. I retrieved what I could but didn't have high hopes of getting anything at all. However, I might still get one popping up from the cracks in the paving!

Here is a Crocus mathewii seedling, too. Both parents of the seeds in this pot came from Janis.
