The "pow!" factor
 

After the first lovely whole day outside and tidying up the
greenhouse, etc. it was absolutely magic to discover that the Iris
Californian Hybrids had germinated - sown on 18th March 2002. After a
long, hard winter this was a real tonic. Hope I never lose the
feeling of complete joy when such discoveries are made :-)))

I agree totally. I had a similar feeling a couple of days ago when I
found that I had Jeffersonia dubia germinating. I thought they wouldn't
come to anything because they have short viability so it was a real
bonus. Also I always have a special feeling of awe about woodland plants
at this time of year, so it was a double excitement.
