Author Message   Guff  Posted on Friday, February 29, 2008 - 06:27 pm EST :    Bought 100 of these which were listed as "Isauricus Spring Beauty", but are minimus. I put all 100 into pots, and had them in the basement since mid December. Brought them up the other day. Didn't take long to see a flower.

I had no more deer netting left, so that is why I put them into pots. I didn't want to risk the squirrels getting them. Think I paid $12 for the 100. One site has them listed 100 for $80. Come fall, they will be planted outside.

I thought I did well when I got half that amount for $12. Mine are in the ground. I know a few were found out and dug up but hopefully not all. How cold is your basement, Guff? Loretta - NJ, Zone "6"   Guff  Posted on Friday, March 07, 2008 - 02:06 am EST :    Basement is 40-45. I may have a few minimus planted outside in the 1000 mixed that I planted in December, no telling whats going to pop up. Hopefully I get a few, would like to dab some Picturatus pollen and see if I can get some seed. I have been told that minimus trade form is sterile, doesn't hurt to try.
