So pretty- I found a tall white Asclepias last summer at a local nursery. It was the only one they had, and the tag was missing, so I'm not sure of the variety. It was from a small local grower, they said. Does A. Incarnata come in white?

No new Asclepias and Lupines sprouts, only about 50% germination so far, but I tried another trick with the remaining seeds: back in the freezer for another 24 hours. Meanwhile, 2 Lupines out of 3 are just beginning to unfurl, and 3 planted Asclepias cells have sprouted so far, one with 2 stems. Not sure if it's 1 seed or 2. I thought I only put 1 per cell, but stranger things have happened...

When I took the pics below, I noticed 2 more little Asclepias just beginning to surface :-)
