Auricula they can take quite a number of weeks to germinate and if they don't germinate after about 5 weeks then they recommend putting them into the fridge for a couple of weeks too.

Jilly recently sent me a parcel and one of the plants was Summer Skies. I know it's Summer Skies cos I've seen the flowers (eat your heart out T&M!!!). The best bit is it's split to make 2 plants! Does Summer Skies set seed?

I had to bread knife it in 2!!
It will be a surprise when it flowers. One bit of it is definitely Summer Skies! I should have thought about the no seeds as it's a double - so do you just split it as it gets bigger?

Thanks, but I really wouldn't do them justice - I can be a tad impatient with things like seeds  |

It is the 'posh pink' one Geranium, I have three of them. To my mind they are slightly more mauve than pink though, with purple veining. Nice black stamen/pistils in the middle. Thanks for sending me the seeds, I've enjoyed waiting for them to perform  x Tig |

) instead of letting them self sow. When Tig sent me seeds the other year I had nearly 100% germination, I just failed miserably at growing them on 
but if that plant split easily into 2, I think the part that wasn't in flower is likely to be Mrs KC 
but I wouldn't do them justice, and I'd hate to waste your time G 
Then, if after 10 days there are no signs I begin to get ....just a tad...irritated
