Ok, some answers

I have a Canon 600D with a standard 18mm to 55mm lense. I also have a 200mm zoom. The large files allow effective digital zoom which gives the macro effect

Maxine: reported results from the creams lately have been mixed. Creams are certainly weaker seedlings but no shows are not expected at all. We're looking at alternative crosses for cream for next season

Re the sowing of delph seeds - there are many methods that produce successful results and people have their favourites. We supply our instructions with the seed and these can be found here http://delphinium.co.nz/GrowFromSeed.htm

There is much more info here http://delphinium.co.nz/FAQ.html#seeds

Where there is a good winter freeze and snowfall, sowing directly on the ground, under light mulch in early winter can be a good way to go too.

Jo, have your seeds arrived yet? Let me know if they are not there by the end of this coming week

Cheers

Terry
