I had a surprise today... with my Grass Trees!

Approx 2 months back, when I was replanting a few yogurt pots after some seedlings died. I spilled a few seeds. I thought I had picked them all up. The next day when I watered the seedling I found a seed lying on the top of a pot, and because I was lazy I just planted it over there in the garden...Today I found it, the little seed has come up! it's pretty cute!

Also today another emerged, actually it was yesterday but I didn't notice until today!
It was planted on the 26/4/08 and emerged 12/6/08... 48 days,.
Quite a bit longer compared the seeds germinating in the summer months.
The new plant is on the left in the photo below.
The plant on my doubtful list carked it yesterday.Below on the right.

The seedling below is quite small (center pot on the right) I'm hoping it will survive. I have had a few seedling like this that have picked up with a little TLC. Some seedlings seem to have very fine leaves/spines.


Tally 1 death, 2 new... 92 +7=99 (yikes 99!)
Now do I add the little one in the garden to the seedling or to the garden?

Cheers Carol
