The edit limit works on a 24 hour cycle -- I've run into it also. I'm trying to remember, it might be 5 edits per day? But the limit applies to all edits you make anywhere on DG, not just edits to a single post. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind the limit, unless edits eat up server capacity or unless people would post and retract things all over the place without a limit (I guess I could see how that could produce confusion on threads). I tend to see typos right after I hit the "send" button, so I could use a few extra edits each day, but oh well.

I've started up-potting some of my wintersown seedlings, and I'll have some spares available if people are interested... The columbins germinated like crazy (they won't bloom until next year), as did the 'Blue Clips' campanula, and I could spare a few Veronical longifolia and Salvias also (I had them marked as 'Purple Knockout' seedlings, but the coloring seems less purple than I'd expect, so they could be something else, maybe Salvia 'Caradonna'). I guess I'd better edit my list! LOL

Oh, and if anybody likes this plant, I've got several (large) volunteer seedlings... I sowed seeds that were labeled "Chocolate Daisy" (Berlandiera lyrata), and I got this lovely plant with blooms that looked like Chocolate Daisy but had no chocolate scent, plus the plant was about twice as tall as I'd anticipated (looked odd at the front of the border LOL). I've since obtained some "real" B. lyrata seeds, and they looked quite different. So, I don't know exactly what it is, but it has nonstop yellow blooms most of the summer, and butterflies flock to it. It got about 3 feet tall in my garden last year, and I don't know if it will be taller this year (last year's plants are almost 2 feet tall already).

Here's a photo of the "Not Chocolate Daisy"
