Man oh man, Cameron.
You've had such huge success with seeds from which others only maybe get 1 to pop...or none.
I'm personally thinking of Nannorhops ritchiana and a couple others.
Well done.
You'll be wearing the "germination" crown at the end of this season, and it's certainly well deserved.

Thanks, Barb! I still have my failures with germination attempts too, I'll have to make a post about a few of those soon

ACtualy, yes, theres 3 of them planted outside already LOL. ITll be small enough to protect this year for sure. ID wait till they have 4 or 5 leaves before moving them IMO. They seemed to hate being transplanted.

Those Opuntias could use some sunlight to set that new growth right.

Canadianplant, I'll probably wait until next year before planting mine outside!

I've been keeping an eye on some Poncirus trifoliata seeds that I've been germinating. So far, 7 plants have emerged as "albino", but three of them have eventually changed into a "variegated" form. So far, four have remained "albino". If they are indeed albino, they will not survive for too long, because they can't perform photosynthesis! I've heard that albino trifoliata seedlings are fairly common.
Group shot:
Closer up:
No flash:
The seedlings in the front show the "variegation", while the two in the back remain "albino":

I've heard that the variegated trait is also usually fatal!

Blue on those Cape Sabals is electric for that size!
Are you guys going to have a summer up there or what!

Jim, the blue on all of the sabals is awesome!
Tim, that's a great trifoliata! I can just make out a couple of oranges. You should try making a trifoliata-ade when they're ripe (with lots of sugar of course)!

Cameron, I'm sitting here with my jaw dropping at those photos and your successes.
I've never before seen juvenile photos of most of those you're growing.
Really love the seedling Trachies and Sabals!
Those Nannorhops are going to lift the roof.
Had no idea that they would grow so fast.
Well done, as always.
Barb
PS---forgot to say OLE to that P.dactilyfera from Luxor! What a treasure that is.

Hey Cameron, how have you managed through all the recent rain storms?
Heard you folks had 100 mm in two days and lots of lightning?
Send some rain out west please.

Barb,
After living in NS for 10+ years, I've learned that I just have to try to ignore this idiotic weather, and pretend to pass it off as "normal" like the rest of the population does You can take 90% of the rain, as long as you send over a bit of heat!
Here's an updated shot of the Loquats:

Nice growth on the Loquats...those deli containers don't allow much room for roots...maybe that's a good trick
You can have all our heat.
I've had enough already after only a week of it.
Drier than popcorn around here.
Received your PM that seedlings are en route...yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Will post pics when they arrive.
Thank you!

I think one benefit of the shallower containers is that it's easier to heat the soil, but one downside is that you need to transplant the seedlings soon after, to allow for more root growth!

nice Loquats Cameron! That's one plant I've always wanted to try here.....someday. There's an 8 foot tall Loquat at my parents development in Rockville, Maryland (zone 7a).

What can I say thats not been said already,
So many success' Cameron. I love those Araucaria araucana: they are like little Christmas trees, (first shot.)
And all those Trachicarpus seedlings...wow
Thanks for showing us your magnificent, mind boggling stock, , and the germinating Images. Never had any luck with hard seed.

Thanks, Tim! Your parents are very lucky
Zomble, thanks as well! Since you're in the UK, you should try joining the EPS or Growing On The Edge forums! They're very informative, and you'll have a lot more local people to chat with!

I am a member at EPS, also I think GFTE, very rarely go to GFTE.
I joined also Cycadelic I think it was, that was quite new I think...not been there either for a while.
I don't grow tropicals apart from two Cycads and a Trachicarpus but I do like the variety of new people forums offer...their ideas, success, and failures. No Idea how I happened on this one
I usually visit EPS once a day, I signed up then never went for ages. Then John was wondering why not so I started to vist once daily. Not a lot goes on for me, just the odd post I subscribe to. No place to have off topic etc.
My main interest is looking after my Cycas and Trachicarpus so I am learning as I go.
Canadianplant I am limited in what I can grow because my garden/yard is small.
Do you think this is the wrong forum for me Cameron?

Hey Cameron!
I finally received your seedlings in the mail yesterday.
It only took TWO FULL WEEKS from Halifax to Vernon BC
Bloody idiots at Canada Post
Roots were still moist, but the felt pen faded on the one Trachycarpus...what is the name?
(from bottom up, 10 Nannorhops ritchiana, 2 Bottle Palms, and the unknown Trachy).

A quick dip into B-1 and then potted up...they look better this morning.

Put the Nannorhops into a 2 gallon community pot to see which recover.
Thanks for sending them!

This is weird.
I thought I had posted my new seedlings from Cameron.
Post is missing
But when I wrote it again, I could see the (previous) post under Preview, but not when looking at the topic!
OK here goes again.
After 2 weeks in transit (thanks a pantload, Canada Post), they finally arrived.
From the top, 1 Trachy Tesan, 2 Bottles, 10 Nannorhops ritchiana
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/6062660006/" title="DSC04883 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6210/606 ... a764f1.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC04883"></a>
Gave them a 2-minute soak in B-1 vitamin, then nannorhops went into community pot (at top, below), and T. Tesan and Bottles each went into 1 gallon pots in the shade. Look better already today.

EDIT: yup, the first post now shows up. I'll leave them both in case there's a glitch somewhere.
