This I thought was suppose to be a Raikou, has the markings - but the color is blue instead of purple. Now I am mixed up on all the others blooming.

Rose silk...

Anyway-- Windy...whatever the names...it looks like the soil mixture I wrote about is working pretty good so far.

Yep looks like your additives are working wonders. When did you plant your seeds?
There all very pretty, thanks for sharing.

I started them in the house the first week in January-- using baggies, paper towels, superthrive and Hydrogen Peroxide H202. I read about it on one of the other threads..worked like a charm. Great percentage of germination..... since then I learned you can use sphangum moss - or orchid moss (same thing).

Nice! You must be like a good cook. You use a pinch of this and a gob of that, making the soil preparation. LOL
I can't wait to see my morning glories again.
I soaked some Ipomoea Alba one night and the next morning they were already sprouting. I gently cracked the hard coat with a pliers.
I bought some of the Martha Stewart brand seeds from K-Mart. I thought they would be good, but was disappointed that the seed was way smaller than other brands I have had in the past. Hope they do well. I also started Pearly gates in the same containers, so I will have a moon garden and also white flowers for day time. LOL
