Friday’s seedlings: Streptopus amplexifolius

,

Quick Fridays seedlings with Streptopus amplexifolius, the clasping twistedstalk, a wonderful and rarely cultivated woodlander.
The seeds were collected last year in SE BC in the Lizards Range in mid – August and sowed in early September (they spent the winter outdoors).

Streptopus amplexifolius seedlings; looks like it germinates in waves

I suspect that those who purchased and sowed the seeds during the winter/early spring, will have to wait until next spring for germination, just like various propagation protocols suggests (germination in the second year after sowing).

Time is of the essence for sowing in most cases…
