Need help with these seeds

We have planted these seeds,probably 2 weeks ago,and they haven't sprouted yet.Can anyone tell me how long it will take for them to germinate?Please let me know.I hope this is the right forum:O)Here goes:

wooly blue curls
red lion amaryllis
blue butterfly bush
tropaloum tricolorum
sisgrindrium striatum
rhodophiala rhodolirion
indian pipe
hibiscus texas star

Thanks,Chelsea

i don't have enough experience with the seeds that you mentioned but have definitely made the mistake of giving up on seeds too eartly, to find that they sprouted on the compost after i tossed them out...sometimes they take a long time--but there are so many other factors. the butterfly bush might need a dose of cold, but i'm not sure- but just because they do self sow outdoors some, they may like that stretch of winter. good luck! i hope someone who knows more than me can advise you!

Are they in soil?

Yes,they're in soil.

Chelsea,

did you check the Plant File? It's full of great information (including the three types of seeds that came from me LOL)!

Tropaeolum tricolorum:

and http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/us/en/product/6782/1

Sisyrinchium striatum:

Rhodophiala rhodolirion:

Growing plants from seeds requires a high dose of patience! This is not like instant coffee, LOL. Some seeds may take even over one year to germinate (this is not the case of the aforementioned).

Good luck!

Most things that you need to know about seed germination can be found at Tom Clothier's website:

Hi brandnewgirl133,

I've had a wonderful success with Ursula's seeds of Tropaeolum tricololum .
I sowed them on September 22.2003.
They germinated on Nov.5. 2003.

And now they are starting to bloom.
Here are the photos which show thier growing.

This is from autumn 2004 to winter 2005.

Hello, Tomtom!

Your pictures are great and would be a wonderful addition to our Plant Files, as well as a short comment on how these are doing for you. Now would be THE right time to do so, because I have sent out lots of these seeds to many DGardeners that are looking for information to sow/grow them.

What size is the tuber? Could you post a picture of your flowering plant as well?

Thanks!

Ursula

Ursula,
Thanks a lot for your encouraging words.
This success is solely due to the quality of your seeds.
Yes,I'll never forget to post the pics when they're in bloom.
Wait a while please.

Tomtom

Thank you very much (arigato?).

Ursula
