Have Seed packet |
Ex. Chilterns Seed. | December 8, 2020: Seeds sown March 8, 2021: Seeds germinated (Just a few have sprouted. I expect more to sprout, as they're a bit "erratic" about germinating.) |
|
Columbine (Aquilegia jonesii) |
Have Seed packet Sown |
Uncertain, as to exactly why. Although after having given ample time "cold stratification", not a single seed, has ever even began to produce so much, as even a radicle. | December 31, 2020: Seeds sown (Stratification, for approximately 90 days.) June 9, 2022: Plant emerged (I wasn't exactly certain, of the exact date, they'd germinated. While I'd suspect I've finally found, right where I'd sown them.) |

Have Seed packet Sown |
February 5, 2022: Seeds sown (Trying again, though this time, in a specific color.) February 9, 2022: Potted up (It may seem counter intuitive to "pot up" shortly after the rootlets appear, though this helps determine which way to more correctly do so, judging by which way the root emerges, & "pot up" with emergence of root pointing in downwards direction, rather obviously. (Since I'd prestarted, in a baggy while seeds were laying on their flat side.)) February 14, 2022: Miscellaneous Event (Radicle has started to appear, & very dark in color.) February 15, 2022: Seeds germinated (First seed to fully show, (out of three,) has yet to quite open up cotyledons.) |

July 5, 2022: Bloomed (I've a couple of small, blooms, so far. While the plants are still quite small. Though, since I'd sown them together with 'Lemonsde' I can't quite yet be absolutely certain, they are 'Xanthos', or else 'Lemonade' as they'd been sown so closely, together.) |
