Holly, yes, they are from seed. Here's the link to the seed packet exactly: [HYPERLINK@botanicalinterests.com]

I sowed them in February, on top of the snow, I think. Speedie, Mr. Brown Thumb is probably where I got the idea to sow them on the snow. Seq, the seeds are so tiny that they fall into the snow before the birds can get to them. The problem with snow-sowing is exactly what Muddy said, you don't know what's under the snow.

Does anyone know what this dark purple flower is? It's growing in a wildflower patch at my office. I couldn't get a good picture of it for some reason. The back of the flower comes to a little point, like a pointy hat.
