CULT: don't squeeze the charmin

Hey all you closet scientists,

Does anyone know anything about the embryotic life of a seed?

Like, what would an iris seed be doing inside if you disected it right now?
Three weeks ago.  If you squeezed it would it pop like a pimple?  Do the
wrinkles go away before it germinates (someone's recent post said they wait
for the seeds to get all black and wrinkly, but I don't remember the
specific context).

Some of you have said that the babies look like grass.  How long to they
look like grass?  Will I be able to tell them from grass before my husband
decides it's time to mow? (Did I already mention that one of my seed flats
got flipped over in the grass by the porch?)

Can you tell I've never done this before?

;P
