Canna ~2013~

What I was driving at, is that it's surprising that Mowgley is having such trouble, when it was so easy for me.

 

Yes, on average that's it (a bit more on really cold days maybe ), but the windowsill I use has a large window and is south facing, recieving sun (when we get it ) from early afternoon until sunset, so the windowsill retains some warmth throughout the night boosted by the radiator below it and then the warmth from the radiator in the morning keeps it warm again until the sun comes round

 

Nice choices,ive had slow germ on my tropical ones the rest have been ok but ive not ordered the same as you,orange generals from ebay havnt shown so i wont be going back there

 

I got some of those from ebay too, orange and pink - all 6 up; 3 of each

 

Squeaky buffalo i got mine from on 4/9/12 maybe they was out of date

 

Can't remember the username of where I got mine Joolz, just remember they were from Europe; I do remember there being a lot of lovely stamps on the envelope though

 

I reckon if you sowed the stamp bilbo you'd get them to germinate too

 

I`m sure that tmw mowgley will have some thai canna popping out , they are water cannas the fastes I`ve seen germinated .......if they will pop out tomorrow we will know that the problem are the seeds.

has anyone ever order rizhomas from karchesky?

 

It should be in your archive,3yrs info of what you have bought,go to my ebay then purchase history,then archive,then yr you bought

 

Hi

Hi sorry for the delay in replying, been doing overtime at work.I have tropicanna that's been planted for about two years. Last year I tried to dig around them but ended up spearing a couple. That is why the ground is a bit hard now.Also some of them did not grow very well, only about a foot if that, and they did not flower.Hence why I think I will divide them this year, start them off in pots again then replant in looser soil with compost added.

 

Thanks for the info Pete and Sal.Will try and dig them up some point at the weekend.Mine were late to come through last year. Tbh The new ones I planted from seed grew so fast that they drowned the tropicana.

 

To my great GC friends I'm glad to tell you that I have some new babies on the way
Both the New Zealand and warscewiczii have come up!

 

Did I won my bet?????????


Now my question is : our seeds are fresh and reliable , is one of the best seller on the market unreliable????????

I would ask for an explanation , that happen to me last year got lots of seeds from jungleseeds and only got 3 out of 30 .......not really good expecially when they make us think as useless gardners and blame on us .

 

I'm sure many seed suppliers carry seed over from one year to the next, some just rely on those that supply them, often on the other side of the world.
Its far too easy for them to say "sporadic germination" or "needs experience".
I know from years gone by the amount of money I have spent on basically "dead" palm seed.

I never had problems with palm seed I collected myself.

 

Yep you won the bet sal....
Will send them a email later
