No, its below zero out side, near that down stairs too. I sowed some seeds
in Late December and the plants are already blooming- I have pollinated a few
of the flowers and hopefully will get some seeds.
Nice upright plants about 18 inches tall, I have not grown them out side yet
but here is a blurb about them:
"Pale Corydalis" or "Rock Harlequin" (ko-RI-dal-is) A native, biennial or
annual growing from 8 to 30 inches
tall (This selection comes in around 2 feet). Flowers bright pink and
yellow-tipped, with a single spur. Leaves blue green, multi lobed. An
interesting plant that will self seed around and form little packets of
attractive spring
foliage and dangling pink flowers in late spring. Plants grow in the wild
after a fire. Native from
open wood lands from Alaska to Newfoundland, Pacific northwest, Northern
Rockies and east to
the Atlantic Coast down to Georgia. Sow at 70:F, germination is in one to
three weeks. Cover
with glass or plastic. If seeds have not germinated well after four
weeks-move to the refrigerator
for three weeks then back F 70. Sow in suite for flowers in five or six
weeks.
In Minnesota were it's winter, but we have SNOW finally.
Sorry Claire, I heard you got hit with another winter storm out on the East
side of this big country.
