Blandfordia
Diana Chapman (Sat, 11 May 2013 11:32:04 PDT)
As I said, it isn't difficult to germinate. The seed must be fresh, it
will not store at all, so the problems people have with this species is
because they are getting old seed. I got seed from Australia, freshly
harvested, and also from the Archibalds, who sent it to me as soon as
they received it. I had no problems with either batch. After
germinating, though, the seedlings remained very tiny for about three
years before they seemed to be growing.

So, the problem is the germination - not to grow it?

Does anyone grow Blandfordia? I have several plants that are 10+ years
old, a couple of which are in bloom now. The stems do not develop, and
the flowers seem to nestle down in the foliage, which I think is
abnormal. They do this every year. I am growing them in a cool
greenhouse, no heat.
