Fantastic!!! It may have seemed easy but you've certainly gone to a lot of trouble with these seeds - well done. Brilliant idea about putting them into the loo cistern too.

I so wish I could take credit for the loo cistern idea but the iris website I found the germination information on insisted you do that. I put a note on the wall above the loo cistern so I wouldn't forget.

Still, major kudos to you for taking all the time and trouble. I look forward to seeing them when they bloom.

Surely by then I will have figured out how to post a digital picture.

I imagine you have a very smug smile right now. Go you.

Seeds in the toilet tank? That's freaking brilliant!

I suspect the amusement of telling people you started these plants in the toilet when you start getting compliments on them will have some staying power.

And you made me smile. Nicely done. (-:

FAnTAStic!

I wonder if some of them will have varigated leaves like their parents--it'll be interesting to find out.

Keep us informed! I would be interested in that as well!!!

easy, eh?

Forgetting about them and having them inevitably glog the throne from above after a year or two, is how this scenario would play in out in doodlemaier's ½ acre. I'll stick with simple and leave the easy stuff for you experienced gardeners.
