Kalmia Latifolia (Mountain Laurel) Question
Last Winter I gathered some Kalmia seed capsules from the local woods here
in Maryland. I soaked the seeds overnight in water and placed them indoors on peat moss trays, inside clear plastic bags. Several of the seeds germinated after about a week but failed to grow more than about a 1/2 in. in height (I used 16 hrs. flourescent light a day and the temperature has been kept around 70 degrees). Three of the seeds germinated within a couple of days and grew rapidly. On one trial I ended up with the 2 plants shown at the bottom of the page, on another I ended up with the one at the top. http://www.geocities.com/gridcat2/in...?1056159151406 Why do the 2 lower ones look so unlike Kalmia? I don't see how I could have contaminated the seeds. If they're something else, can anyone identify them? thanks Mitch --remove nospam from email address when replying. |
