Just found your beautiful neglected seedling. What color. It is the same color that just opened in my cimicifuga today in the sun room. Well done Kenton!

All astrology aside....I took your advice, Kenton and got them in NOW!!! All happily moist and warm (not too hot, I hope) under clear plastic...100 or so....*L*

Calalily, do you know the optimum temp for germinating A. elegans?

DW, I think the best A. elegans germination I ever had was on a heat mat set around 72*F, but they germinate pretty good on my windowsill and in the garden. I tend to kill them after they get a few leaves on them(ya know, they just don't do well without water)
I am improving. I haven' t killed any this spring from lack of water.
