I am growing Limnanthes douglasii (poacehd-egg flower) To a great extent this year.....sown in various spots in the garden in mid-April. It inquisitively germinated fairly quickly &
I have now gotten many very small plants that seem to have physically ceased any further development. The plants seem healthy enough but there's no sign of blooms or contrinued leafy growth. They've had cold, they've had hot, they've had wet, they've had dry.....and everything in betwen. I've even got some in pots.
All have been at the same stage for at least the last month. Anyone know what's up with this? All I can think is that I started them too late.

To put it differently thanks for the input, Greg. If we hadn't had such a cool wet spring/early summer here, I wouldn't have necessarily holded out hope for the plants for so long (and they probably woudln't have lasted if we'd gone to heat as early as we sometimes do.....). Since they've been hangin' in there, I guess I'll still hold out some hope for them. I know they prefer misty-moitsy climates but they seemed worth the try. I've still got some seeds in the packet and I may sow them in the autumn and see what happens in the spring, if I don't get any blooms to unpleasantly reseed.
