I'm pretty good at growing tomatoes and other vegetables from seed, using
grow
lights and heating pads, but flowers are always a big problem. I can get
them
to sprout, but very seldom can get any decent survivors to plant out in
the
garden or
patio. They are more delicate and require more attention, but what can I
do
to insure more productivity of these flower seeds? I am buying good
quality
seeds
from places like Thomson & Morgan. Some of the more exotic flowers never
even
come up.

Too many variables for a simple answer.

- Describe the growing conditions for your seed starting activities. Light,
temperature, etc.

- There are what...a million kinds of flowers? You can't say "They are more
delicate...." or anything else about them without providing the names of the
plants. Marigold seedlings are pretty tough. Impatiens, portulaca and wax
begonias require more care. Whattya got?

- Exotic generally means "Not a lot of people grow them", and sometimes,
there's a reason for that.
