I got my packet few days ago and mostly all were my first choices. My garden is shady woodland type and I try to find plants for shade. Got some glaucidum palmatum, thalictrums, fritillarias, fall crocus, liliums, carex.
I am checking mail every day for second round list ;) |

| finally got my second round list, still drooling as usual. My eyes are much bigger than my garden space... |

I didn't order any seeds this time. In fact I didn't renew my membership to NARGs. I haven't even planted everything I got two years ago. Most of what I planted in 2006 didn't even germinate. I did get some soldanellas and primulas. It's so discouraging:( I just need a better set-up and hope some day to get it figured out.

| How I wish my soldanella seed had germinated last season. Sigh . . . |
RE: NARGS Seed Exchange

| And I'm wishing my pulsatilla seed had germinated:) I'm concerned about the soldanellas. They aren't looking to well. I sure hope they survive. We'll just have to keep trying! |

Have good germination fro sedums via winter sowing method.
Have some soldanellas, waiting to see more. Ramonda myconi germinated inside. Still it is too early here to say how good
it will be... |
