(Cut off my lupines to plant new seeds). Claire, I'm not ready to trade
plants I know are living for potential seedlings that might not come up. So
I guess I'll have to have both until I see those seedlings. Somebody wrote
today that they've had the same lupine plants for 6 years. Actually mine
seem more floriferous in this third year. But if you're right they're going
to decline and probably look leggy, right?, in the next year or two. So I'd
better get those seedlings started.
I understand now your reason for planting the seeds where the old plants are,
but a pretty knowledgeable daffodil person does believe that planting seeds
beside the mother plant increaes germination. For her daffodils, anyway.
