All,

From everything that has been said, I'm not holding my breathe. I did sow the
seed as soon as I received it, and placed it in the coldframe for the winter.
We shall see.  Thank you for the confirmation.

<< Karen,
 
 Perennial species of Adonis, including A.pyrenaica, are notoriously poor 
 germinators.  The reference I use most for seed germination is Norman 
 Deno's SEED GERMINATION: THEORY AND PRACTICE, and he characterised the 
 problem as largely due to empty [dead-on-arrival] seeds.  Deno reports 
 germination [at less than 5%] for the related A.vernalis at cool 
 temperatures.  If your seed is viable, it should be sown outdoors now, or 
 sown and held indoors for a few weeks, then put outdoors >>
