I can vouch for this as well!! Michael sent me some of the seed from his
A. henryi early last year, planted in around March I think...... didn't
germinate until Sept-October (Got 3 from 6). Have their third leaves now
and I am still unsure whether to repot them or not. Don't want to disturb
them <grin>.
So..... Perseverence!!
Cheers.
