Friday’s Seeds and other happenings

There are a few more new seeds for the start of November:
Allium pseudojaponicum – an excellent small size Allium for early fall flowering.
Allium victorialis – one to enjoy and also made it into a salad.
Liatris microcephala – the dwarf and beautiful Appalachian blazing star.

A couple of species that produced very few seeds this year are also available. Both are easy to germinate and grow:
Callirhoe digitata
Calycanthus floridus
And maybe, maybe Allium thunbergii ‘Ozawa’ seeds will have time to mature this year.

Various moist packed species are getting impatient and showing the first signs of germination. Few like Trillium grandiflorum and Paris quadrifolia are on time, for others like Uvularia and Symplocarpus, ‘it’s just happening’. Not 2 seeds are the same…

We also got our first nights below zero Celsius and the first flurries; it is November after all. But the trees are still wearing bright colors and fall Crocus and other stubborn plants are refusing to let go.
