    Yes we should, I'd love to. I work full time in the local prison and also the health centre but I'm usually around at weekends.

    I once saw a monkshood kill a man at 20 paces...cold blooded psychopaths these plants are.

    Was the monk still in it then?

    I had these germinate from the pot I put your seeds in Lyn...(not the cosmos thing)

     I'm not sure if they are aconitum, does anybody know? Reason I'm a bit unsure is they came up a lot like astrantia seedlings do...and some other things came up in the pot but got eaten when very small...

    I think you are correct Victoria, I didn't think I had any germinate but just found this tray.

    they look like they are growing from little bulblets, are yours like that,did i send you those seeds last year?

  • Yes, Lyn, mine are still small but starting to develop the white root thing...can't see too well as on phone but those are from the white aconitum seed you sent image

    I hope everyone that I have sent the seeds to can get them going.
