Dear Jyl, I have read ants spread cyclamen seed around, but how the seeds made it to the perlagonium I can't imagine. This spring, as I was weeding the floor of my outside greenhouse, I found 3 such seedlings and, the following day, a pair of seedlings which are now potted safely and on the bench. That week was sort of a bonus for finding them. Best wishes, Joyce Miller, Gresham, Oregon Zone 8 mostly. -----Original Message----- From: Jyl Tuck Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2014 9:43 AM To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org Subject: [pbs] Cyclamen seed Sorry but the pelargonium plants were in my basement greenhouse when this happened. The bird seed bag was broken into in the basement (the year before) and the cyclamen seed taken out of a tray I had stratified and put on a table under lights. The tray had been dug in,but many still came up. I put out traps and I assumed the seed eaten, until I saw it in the pelargonium. All in all the seedlings are tough and now in my outside greenhouse growing on. jyl _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
