Caroline, you inspire me to get off my duff and get sowing (although notice my forum micro-badge, for "garden procrastination Blinking ).

Spring 2017 I had first flowering on Glaucidium palmatum var. leucanthum, 5 years from seed. Several small plants with pure white flowers, but 1 purple-blue one as well. They have amusing seed pods, looks like two shiny guppies joined at the hip. Seed takes a very long time to ripen, I had pods by mid June, but per my notes, I harvested seed on Sept 12, 2017, then sown right away and left outside over winter. Fingers crossed I get germination in spring.
