Hi everyone,

I was looking in my growing pots just the other day at what I
thought were newly germinated D.filiformis. However, when I looked at
the labelling tag (I number all of my seed pots) and referenced it to my
CP notebook, I realized that I had B. liniflora, not D.filiformis. I
have several small seedlings which are not remaining too small so I'll
have to pot them up in something bigger.

My question is regarding dormancy of these plants. I have not
read anything that suggests they have a definite dormancy period. All I
have read is that this plant can be quite weedy in comparison to
B.gigantea. Most of the info I've read seems to focus on the more
difficult to cultivate B.gigantea, so if anyone has any information on
B.liniflora's dormancy (if there is one) I'd appreciate it. Thanks in
advance!
