I thought it would be fun to share what seeds are germinating at this time! It's so exciting for me when germination occurs, just to see that the seeds will germinate at all is always a small victory.

I'll go first, but I'd like to hear what all of you have seen germinating at this time...

Chlorogalum pomeridianum
Wild collected seed, surface sown, is germinating in masses, right in tune with the emergence of the mature plants.

Muscari 'Peppermint'
I thought this was a sterile hybrid, not sure why though. However, seeds are germinating! I wonder if they will have the same characteristics?

Narcissus
Yellow trumpets, large hybrids, bee pollinated. I was curious, it is an experiment. When I went to sow the seeds last Autumn, they were covered in mold! Apparently they didn't mind, they are germinating nonetheless.

Xerophyllum tenax
The earliest seeds to germinate were destroyed by hard rains last week, but the pots are now under cover and new seeds are germinating. Yay!

Now how about you?
