Dennis,
nice! Have you considered potting them up and over-wintering them
in a coldframe? I have found seedlings do very poorly inside during
Winter. They attenuate and often become quite weak by Spring. In a
coldframe they growm more slowly, but we see a better root system
and compacter growth. Also, roots continue to develope and grow when
temps are above 4ÂC, while the leaves develope little, if at all,
thus putting energy into the basis of the plant.
What ever you decide to do, keep taking fotos. Document for the
rest of us!
cheers, Mate,
Jamie

In August I started sowing my iris seeds in ziploc
bags with a little bit of wet potting mix. I put them in the
refrigerator and checked them frequently in the early weeks but
then sorta forgot about them. I just checked them for the first
time in over a month and there's a lot of activity. Here are
pics of seeds germinating from the arilbred 'Rare Breed'.
I intend to pot them up & grow them under lights this
winter and hopefully keep them growing through spring
& into summer. I've never tried this intentionally
before but I've done it unintentionally with Louisiana
irises.
