Hi There:

So every year I like to challenge myself and grow something I never did before. When I saw these flowers I knew they were it I ordered about 8 different colors from a few different online sources. I did not realize that the seeds were "pelleted", I had no idea what that meant until I looked it up online, it's a very interesting process. The seeds were still tiny, and extremely fragile , so I sprinkled them around the planter and hoped for the best. When I saw a tiny and I mean tiny little green thing begin to sprout I thought at first it was a weed but in a few days I realized I had germinated one - oh yeah!

After a long time, and I would say about another 2-3 weeks I got more. As you can see from the picture they are still tiny. My question is being I started them in Feb, when do you think I will get flowers? I know they take a long time and are fussy to grow. I want to be able to take care of them and have success. I know I'm sick, but to be on the safe side I ordered some plants too, because I just have to have them in my garden this year.
