its always exciting when seeds come up .. even when you know thats what there suposed to do ... leave them in a sheltered spot and wait till they have few true leaves before planing them and watch for slugs good luck

Wait until the lupins have a fair few leaves. You want a decent size plant before you put it in the garden. black eyed susan will re seed itself

thanks so much,my dad gave me some seeds called purple orchid tree seeds and they have come up too,didnt expect it as he has had them about five years and im not sure they are grown in this country,chris

They [purple orchid tree - Bauhinia purpurea] should be ok. plant in full sun, soil requirements not fussy.
For your other seedlings hardening off is important. outside during the day and then back in at night. the lupins will be able to go out once hardened off. the bigger the better, but they do grow direct in the soil too.
