Hi, Dennis, good to hear from you.

I have not done anything with those seeds since I wrote back in June.  

My mom fell and broke her hip in June 2012; I cared for her from then until her death at the end of September 2013. I did very little gardening during those 15 months; in fact, I hardly got out of the house much during that time. 

I'm back in the saddle now and picking up the pieces of 15 months neglect in my garden and in my gardening life. I'll be sowing seeds throughout the next three months - with all the seed exchange seeds and new purchases from other sources arriving, I've got lots to do.

BTW, I got seeds of four cool oncos from the ASI seed exchange (I. atrofusca, I. atropurpurea, I. samariae and I. kirkwoodii x iberica elegantissima). I'll be cutting those soon.

Jim

Hi Jim,

I wanted to check back with you to see what you ended up doing with these
seeds, and if any of them germinated for you last year?
I just obtained many dozen I. tridentata seeds & have been sowing them in
pots.
