Thanks a lot Gigi. Have you or DrDawg tried gibberic acid on them? I have used it on several seeds with good luck. It is very useful when used correctly on hard to germinate seeds.
As you may have surmised, I have no problem growing something that will not bloom for years. Right now I have Siberian Iris (in ground), dierama and dietes among others that I started from seed 1 and 2 years ago, and they will take a while to bloom. The latter two must be brought in.
In addition, I do bonsai so I do understand patience - which that will try. Heh. I have 5 types of Bauhinia that I started from seed 2 years ago and it will be years before I see them bloom. Note I did not say if.
They are also tropical, so I have to winter them indoors.
