Regarding the plant "White Lace Flower (Orlaya grandiflora)" in @dnrevel's plant list

dnrevel said:Pretty plant, annual. Winter Sown in a pot. Organic seed from Fedco seed. I collected the seeds from this first year's growth and will grow again. If I have enough to trade in 2021, I will list them.

Fedco Seeds - Organic Laceflower seed, January 2020

For early flowering plants, sow Orlaya grandiflora seed in autumn and overwinter in a cold frame. Alternatively, sow seed in spring for plants that will flower into autumn. Allow plants to self-seed or collect seed after flowering and sow fresh for next year's crop.

Can be Winter Sown

'White Lace' is a compact grower and exuberant bloomer with masses of pure white flat-topped flowers above the ferny foliage, creating a sea of frothy white. The more you cut, the more they bloom! Rare, yet an easy, low maintenance annual.

Needs a cold period, cold stratification (good for winter sowing) and light to germinate. Once germinated, it's a great plant. I am planting a row in April (before our Michigan frost date) and have some jug sown. Will report back on germination of collected seed from last year's plants.

I plan to fall sow this plant in 2024 as well. Fall sown Nigella did very well.
