Yes, I think I received them around April or May last year, much too late
for me to use them in our Spring garden. I store all my seeds in a 1 gallon
glass container (with powdered milk in the bottom to absorb humidity)in a
refrigerator. The other seeds seem to have maintained their viability in
that climate, but not one of the six seeds sown germinated. Once I receive
them, I will try this year's Caspian Pinks in our fall garden, of which I
will probably plant the seeds in June so they are ready to plant outside 6-8
weeks later.

Interesting---Were these the Caspian Pinks I sent out last year?
The lots I'm sending this year show 85% for the Caspian Pink and
80% for the Brandywine, but we had 100% with small
quantities of both. Seeds for both were sown on March 7 and the
Caspian Pinks have developed true leaves while the Brandywines
have not.
