here are the babies so far.. we have the mg from the back yard ( the big one in the back there, (the flowers were the big blue ones by my back door) and then we have the purple blizzard in a recycled plastic juice bottle with spagmum moss, and then the moon flowers alba in the other recycled plastic container, and in the glass mug a project for an art endeaver.. ( this was just a jar and seeds, with a plastic water bottle over it for the nursery effect as they germinated) top off I have planted a mixture and posted it on my multiply site with photos : Here is a List of what is in this first "nursery planter" to grow all Winter and replant in spring:

5 sunspot morning glory seeds

5 Red Morning Glory seeds

2 white Chinese Bean Hyacinth

10 Red celosia seeds in groups of 5 towards the back of stems. One thin green Bamboo stick broken in half. One dried Salvia stem with root ball in middle. One water bottle with top cut off , inverted into One used Glass Handled Mug,

Filled with moist Potting Material, added seeds, dried Salvia stem, sprinkled fine vermiculite and moss cuttings over top, firming into soil, before putting plastic top on, inserted and wrinkled to fit. Insert Sticks into opening that was pre-cut from the bottom of the water bottle.

Put on window sill or in well lighted area. Watch for dryness, which is visible if no humidity forms inside. transplant when warm enough. You might have to use more perlite and vermiculite to remove easily in spring. Water with Mister Only while in planter.
