Greetings, all. A few weeks ago I asked the group about Iris magnifica, after which I moved both lots of seedlings outside in pots. Today in my weekly inspection, I noticed that cotyledons have appeared in both pots, so indeed, all that was needed was patience. Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions. Next time I'll know that this species just takes time to germinate. Thanks, Kathleen On the coast of the Pacific Northwest, on a sunny day after a storm
