Where did you guys get your delph seeds? I ordered from Thompson and Morgan. They aren't cheap, either. They do tell you how many seeds you get for what you pay. Most seem to have 8-12 seeds per pack and cost from $3.50-$7.95 per pack. The cheapest was Centurian Rose at $3.50 for 20 seeds. Still, if they all germinate, or if even half germinate, it's still cheaper than paying for potted plants. That's how I look at it.

I have started some WS seeds this month. I have about 26 different ones started so far. I did them in pots, and put the pots in clear storage containers with holes in tops and bottoms. Here's what I WSed on Feb. 9th:

Showy Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa)
Dwarf Chinese Delphinium 'Blue Butterfly'
Digitalis ferruginia
Digitalis purpurea 'Dwarf Red'
Digitalis 'Elsie Kelsey'
Digitalis 'Monstruosa'
Digitalis 'Apricot'
Digitalis 'Pam's Choice'
Digitalis 'Dwarf Foxy'
Delphinium 'Pacific Giants Mix'
Delphinium 'Burpee's Cutting Mix'
Delphinium elatum
Delphinium - red
Hollyhock 'Peaches 'N' Dreams'

And this is what I WSed on Feb. 14th:

Tidy Tips (a daisy-like California native wildflower)
Achillea 'Summer Pastels'
Penstemon 'Esprit Mix'
Plains Coreopsis
Cupid's Dart
Aquilegia 'Winky Mix'
Aquilegia 'Clementine Mix'
'Coral Reef' poppy
'Crazy Daisy' Shasta
Hollyhock 'Indian Spring Mix'
Delphinium 'Magic Fountains Mix' (2 pots of that one)

And here's a picture of my containers.
