Re: Re: I odaesanensis

Hello Ken,

I checked my records and the seed is 2005 seed I ordered in the summer
of 2006 to fill some free time during our annual drought. This is the
first germination of odaesanensis in multiple tries.

The only difference is the soaking of the seed in the toilet tank for
2 months as opposed to the one month in previous tries. Then 3 months
in fridge in a burrito bag. Sowed seed 2/2/07. Germination occurred
end of May. Very dry in May, < than .25" of rain !
