Of the 50+ crosses, one has had 100% germination so far (6 seeds).
It is CELEBRATION SONG X WHOLE CLOTH.
??There were only 6 seeds in the sorry little half rotted underdeveloped
pod!
A reminder to me that I may have no control over what these silly little
seeds do. I didn't expect any of these to germinate.
Other crosses range from zero to 5 out of 6 seeds.
In crosses where some seeds were refrigerated (none were dried or
pre-soaked in this bunch) for two months and some for three months
before planting, more seeds have germinated in the batch refrigerated
for 3 months (if any germinated in either batch).
