C. Intaminatum for BjS ( Brian )

What are they in English , Amy .
It is always pleasing when the seedlings emerge , isn't it ?

They are Cyclamens Julia ,I'm thrilled to see them after waiting for so long .. :o)

Well done , Amy .
That wasn't easy .

Thanks Julia :o))

Exciting......

Hi Amy ... those look promising !

Brian must have missed this , Amy .

I have a hunch Brian will find it now ;o)

Thank you Terra
Yes a long wait for probably the smallest cyclamen of all.

Well done for growing the cyclamen. I grew some a couple of years ago and they are in the garden flowering now Amy.

Yes TT they are looking good , it didn't take Brian long to catch up Julia / TT I'm going to have to be patient Brian I find that hard ! well done you Linda you are being rewarded for your green fingers :o))

How long did they take to germinate?

2 years Keith , I was about to throw them out I'm so glad I didn't .....

That's pretty patient!

There's hope yet then. I've got three pots marked cyclamen seedlings and been thinking the same thing, but one pot has a teeny weeny green leaf, so fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for your little leaf Pam don't give up , I have been know to nurture a stinging nettle growing in a pot before now, Lol ...

Amy I have come across a way of germinating them in the dark very quickly but it has its problems when the first one germinates it really needs light otherwise it goes up and falls over if you put it in the light the others appear not to germinate, All problems.lol

Oh Brian that made me laugh :o) it reminded me of the time I grew tomato seeds some grew up leggy before the others I was determined to make them stand upright so stood a cocktail stick beside each one with a plastic bag tie holding each one up in place ,my OH thought I was completely mad but they all survived and grew into strong plants :o)

That made me smile, we all do it don't we, tend our plants however tiny with loving care.......and I've grown a nettle in a pot for the butterflies too.

It goes to show us gardeners are all the same potty people ... Lol ... :o))

I too have grown a nettle before now , we are a little away with the faries sometimes , aren´t we Ç
(I´m on a Spanish machine in Lanzarote whilst OH is in the bar haveing a breakdown over the Welsh/Engilsh match !)

Julia you lucky girl I hope you are having a lovely time ...wall to wall sunshine :o))

Home now Amy , we had a good break ; lots of sun , but quite a bit of wind to start with .
Back to the garden today , weather glorious wasn't it ?
Busy getting seeds started !

Welcome back Julia I'm glad you enjoyed your break ,yes we have had some lovely weather, last weekend we had 17 relatives here for a long weekend not all staying with me some at a hotel and guess where they wanted to go ' Wells ' thanks goodness for the warm sunny days :o)

Another wonderful day ; my daughter and her family are up in that neck of the woods today , they love it up there .
Brave entertaining , Amy , 17 of them !
Hope that you had a good time .
