Went for a hike yesterday to see if there are any D. sambucina plants still flowering. Probably too late into the spring/summer already, so didn't find any sambucina flowers. Did discover many O.ustulata plants, not a bad find .

On one of the pictures there are 4 O.ustulatas hiding .

Great find!
These little plants are sometimes hard to find, but when you see one... there are always more closeby

Did you ever manage successfull sowing ?

Did you ever manage successfull sowing ?

I never had a good amount of seed of this species.
The few seeds I have sown haven ever germinated.

I have sown N. lactea and it germinated only sparsely, but I have a few potted plants a.t.m wich looked healty ( they are in rest now).
