I've got a lot of containers like that. I don't know what the problem is either. We had three weeks of 60 and 70 degree weather and no more seeds have germinated. So, those containers will get planted out this week. Some of the earliest plant outs have given me more seedlings since I planted them. That's what I'm hoping for with the rest. If they do, I'll divide them this fall. I'm just sick of worrying about the containers. I'd rather let them out into the world and fend for themselves. The one exception to this is my Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia. I've had very disappointing results with these seeds. In two containers, I've got three seedlings that survived beyond the first leaves. I don't think they're very hardy. I'm curious to see if those three survived last night's freezing temperatures.

Thanks, Debra. I was very pleased to see it bloom so nicely as a brand new one. We had the unrelenting rain earlier, and I didn't think i would ever get any weeding done. I still have a few spots to do, but I'm working on the baby's room right now. thanks Sarah, I have such a nice selection because I have no discipline in buying them...actually, Mantis, I think Intelligent Design is more Purple because it has been a lot cooler than usual with the frequent rains...It will lighten up, never fear...the heat is coming...it always does. Thanks, Jean and Ruth. I had a lot more new ones blooming today and will post later in the week again. kay

Sherry - Thanks for your comments. I'm really liking the lavender colors on the Integrated Logistics seedlings. I have several red babies from Dearest Valentine, and some have been very splotchy during the rainy days. Some of them are bound to be good performers. The one shown here has 8 or 9 buds in a very crowded seedling bed. Debra

I like both sibs from Raggedy Man x Gay Activist. The first Sonoran Desert Rose pink is very attractive, and I like the edge on the second one. I would cross those two together. The little orange one is a cutie! Debra
