It was much warmer today - 85 or so! And despite the excessive rain last week, it is very dry because of all the wind the past four or so days, so I had to start watering the new transplants and seedlings.
I noticed Streptopus lanceolatus finally coming up in Main Garden!
Asarum canadense is about to bloom in Woodland Area 2.... pictures will follow.
**Germination notes: Salvia lyrata started coming up in moist soil dish from 5/1. Centrosema virginiana, Hedysarum alpinum, and Silene coeli-rosa started coming up in dish from 5/6.
Planted Abelmoschus manihot (from 5/1 dish) and 2 Crotolaria spectabilis (from 5/6 dish) seedlings in Main Garden and 2 C. spectabilis in Sand Area; also 3 Blue Flax from 5/6 in Woodland Area 2; 4 Centrosema virginiana and 2 Cypress Vine in Vine Area.
Planted to following new seeds in moist soil dish, all had been in the fridge previously: Oxalis violacea, Mertensia campanulata, Tofieldia glutinosa, Mertensia oblongifolia, Jeffersonia dubia, Parnassia glauca, Claytonia sibirica, Mertensia lanceolata, Caltha leptosepala, and Hepatica acutiloba. As usual, germination notes will follow... although, I am skeptical that these will produce too many; most are short shelf-life seeds.
