Dear All, The pictures of Dodecatheon wet my appetite (Thank you very much, Robert) and I found out that they would be perfectly happy in my climate and on my lime free soil. Somehow the shooting stars never crossed my mind as garden plants. I checked with Jelitto and they offer some species which are summer dormant. If I would order now and sow in autumn, is that advisable? Is the seed long lived enough to still germinate in autumn? Or better take the chance and hope that fresh seed will be on offer later? I have no experience at all with this genus and do appreciate your advice and experience. Thank you very much Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
