My seeds last year didn't germinate. Do you think that a smoke primer would help germination?

Check out these babies. They are Rosalie X Marshmallow Sunset from Sommergardens. They're gonna be gorgeous! I Got Marshmallow Sunset cuttings at the same time, but none of them rooted. I think I'll wait another month or 2 and try again, it's one of those gotta haves. I got Monika and Angels Exotic around the same time and they are growing happily. I still have my seedlings of the sphaero crosses I got from Alan Hurstwood last spring. They didn't grow much (they're only about 18") but they're still alive and looking good so I'm really happy. Nothing blooming in the basement except my Christmas cacti and they are beautiful! I have a Thor Alex cutting with one bloom that will open any day now, can't wait! Going out to check the greenhouse this afternoon, I have a couple smaller brugs out there, ones that I thought should have grown more than they did so I didn't to put them to sleep. I was so busy last summer that alot of my stuff didn't get the attention they needed. Hopefu1lly that won't happen again.

Happy New Year everyone, hope all is well!
