Hi again Inanda! I figured I waited a bit too long to get mine started, or not long enough if I started them closer in spring in the pots/garden, o well.
Hey Badseed, My problem was too many different directions...and some identified seeds and some not....I figure I'll keep an eye on them and pot up any that look like they want to actually sprout.
Good to meet you Leftwood, thanks for your thoughts. Space issues and impatience and curiosity got me started with the baggies....I have some from last year that were direct sown and should maybe begin to bloom this summer (the early birds anyway). I figured it would be interesting to try the baggy method for comparison.....can't remember where I saw the recommendation for perlite/vermiculite - I planted last year's (2004) seeds in pots in a free draining peaty mix and my scales are in either peat or vermiculite and those have worked well so far.

OMG, I just realized I may never figure out what works as I keep trying all these crazy things willy nilly. Good thing they are plants and know better than this gardener anyway. :)
