Bulbs Direct.
MrsBinWY On April 2, 2021 Seeds sown
lots of seeds from ishareflowers's 2019G in potting mix in fridge, check after 60 days; forgot about these until 7-1-21 -- at least 4 germinated, cotyledon 1"+ along with long root; keep in baggie and put on sewing table. Several more seedlings emerged and senesced fairly quickly. On 8-29-2021, put baggie back in fridge. On 11-20-21, unfridged--6-8 new seedlings emerging. These senescence quickly, too. Let the baggie sit dry for a month or two, then gave a small bit of water and returned the baggie to the fridge on 3-6-2022. Pulled a couple months later, left on counter, refridged on 7-23-2022. Unfridged 11-12-2022. Nothing showing. 3 soon emerged. 1 already senescencing as of 12-23-2022.
