Thanks so much for your gracious reply.
I had not thought of keeping the chamomile in a jar or pot. Perhaps I should try again and nurse it along - at least until it appears to be really established.

YUM! JELLY!! I identify with your philosophy about getting already established plants rather than buying the seed packets in the case you describe.

I see what you mean about the emery board causing possible damage to a New Zealand seed. My understanding was to scratch the body, not the goat-head-like protrusions.
