Title: Podophyllum hexandrum
Hi Don,
I've not grown Mayapples before, so I can't say much about it.  I transplanted species shade Paeonia seedlings  as instructed and lost them all so now I leave them in place for an extra year or so and have had some success.  I don't know if Podophyllum is as fragile.
 
If you were growing them diliberately from seed, Powell instructs:
(Paraphrased)  Sow in flats; plunge to rims against north-facing wall, cover w/glass.  Transplant to individual pots after one growing season, to the garden after two.  Divide after blooming.
 
I found this, too:
How to grow Himalayan mandrake: Sow outside....Once they come up, transplant to a shaded site protected from winds, to rich, ...It takes several years to get established .... Young plants have one leaf; older plants have several. It will gradually spread through creeping rhizomes.
 
Silly question - are you sure these are seedlings?  Could they be growth from the traveling rhizomes of the parent?

I finally have some seedlings of my Podophyllum hexandrum - Himalayan mayapple.  Much prettier than our native P. peltatum and doesn't spread as much.

What would be the best time to transplant the seedlings?  This fall (while I still know where they are), or in the spring?

Thanks,
