In recent exchanges, I got seeds of Ornithogalum fimbrimarginatum and Massonia bredasdorpensis. I sowed, as I often do, in little covered containers of promix, and left in the greenhouse. After weeks with nothing happening I stuck both in the refrigerator for a few weeks. The other day I removed them to a sunny windowsill, and within a day or two the Ornithogalum seeds germinated. Pretty dramatic response, and now I just have to hope I didn't get them all out of sync with the calendar! But I've generally found that once seedlings get growing nicely, they figure out when they want to go dormant. Yes, I know I'm reinventing the wheel, but the speed of germination after removing from the chilling amazed me so I thought I'd share. Nothing showing yet on the Massonia.
