If Yahoo didn't slight you, it is probably buried in some other
longwinded post from me. Or maybe I thought it but didn't post.
I need to go re-read and will post more later, but the Valette book has
some information on germination/stratification requirements &
specifically mentions that seeds from pink crosses are easier to
germinate (less demanding in terms of treatment). I think....take that
with a grain of salt for the moment. In any case, nearly all the seeds
that have germinated for me so far this fall (fresh planted without
drying & soaking) are from crosses involving pinks.
I said:<< One thing for sure - I won't plant plump fresh seeds again
unless they
are from pink crosses. >>
& Betty asked:
<Linda, I think I must have missed a post. What is different with pink
crosses?>
