In his experiments with Romneya seed, Norm Deno found that R.coulteri
germinated 62% in one to four weeks at 70f using Gibberelic Acid-3 (GA-3)and
there was no germination at 70f either in darkness or light, or at 40f.He
was using seed that had been dry-stored for 12 months.

Norman Deno is the source of my inspiration. He is a former Penn State
organic chemistry professor who has developed a scientific approach to seed
germination, and still has volunteers assisting him with research in this
area. He has published his work in a book, now in its second edition. You
can get it from him at:
