Wow, Gardenbug, wow!! I love the various shades of orange of your wallflowers (duh, of course I would!). Very autumn-like. Mine are more fluorescent (not exactly Hunter Orange, but definitely not any of the soothing multi-hued oranges that you have). Yours look so healthy, too. After seeing yours, I'd be afraid to take cuttings of mine because I doubt that they are nearly as healthy as yours. Mine are always scraggly around here. Then again, they're probably going to die anyway, as usual, so what's to lose? I can't wait to see photos of your mauve blossoms. Wild! (I've considered growing things in my plant room under fluorescent lights all winter, but that seems like it would lead to some very expensive plants after all the electricity usage. I see that doesn't stop you, so maybe I could learn something here. It would be an excuse to garden all year long... )

Hahaha, that's hilarious! Even so, I only had two plants this year. Last year, I had one. HAHA!! (Hmmmm... all three were grown from lots of seeds. Okay, cuttings it is! Eek.)

I am a seedaholic! I collect seeds from everywhere I go. I have drawers full of envelopes. Most marked, unfortunately some not.
I rarely plant up in advance I wait for the time of year that they would naturally drop from the parent and do the same but in a different place.
The only time I plant immediately in a nursery bed is when they are multiple dormancy seeds then I just wait patiently. Some can take a couple of years to germinate.
I have also done seed extraction from fruit. That was different and fun.
Anything that is too difficult from seed I try from cuttings. Hard wood cuttings of shrubs is sooo easy!

i have grown lots of annuals from seed sown straight into the ground last spring for summer flowers.It has been such a cold wet summer that some are just starting to flower now and so will be killed by the frost.On the other hand the sweet peas I started last autumn have been flowering since early June and I cut a buch today. I started cosmos in the greenhouse and these have been wonderful.I have just pricked out next years sweet peas into individual pots to overwinter them.

I am tempted to follow suit. I see all sorts of WEEDS that I really want growing in abandoned lots (and in some not-so-abandoned lots). I need counseling! (I wonder if that would be anything like being forced to smoke a carton of cigarettes to stop smoking... I could be forced to buy/collect a whole lot of seeds before I ever reached a point where I said enough is enough!)

You can overwinter sweet peas? I thought they were an annual. ???

Has anyone raised Purple Majesty Millet from seeds saved from the previous year? What were the results? Good and bad?

Hola!
I've started a lot of stuff from seed. The last couple of years almost everything I add to the yarden has been from seed, cuttings or division.
This year, seed starts (intentional) were tomatoes, peppers, amaranth, sunflower, marigold, autumn sun rudbeckia.
Cuttings - roses, brugmansia, variegated honeysuckle vine, variegated forsythia, chrysantemum, variegated buddleia.
I've even brought some cuttings into the office over the last couple of weeks since it'd stayed warm and things hadn't shut down on me.

Hello Flowerpod,
If you like to grow daylilies from seed, you should check out the daylily forum here if you haven't already. There are a few GBs who post pictures of their daylily seedlings.
