I have just been given some freshly harvested Alstroemeria seeds.  After
looking up the sowing instructions in several books, I've found the info to
be a bit confusing.  Anybody have experience with these seeds they can share?

The T&M catalog advises pre-chilling for 3 weeks, although none of my books
mention it.  Necessary?  Also, the books advise a warm water soak for 12
hours prior to sowing.  Another mentions that A. dislikes root disturbance,
so I'm thinking of sowing in plug trays.  This will be under controlled
conditions using flourescents, with temps between 65-70.  

Thank you in advance for any thoughts on the subject.   C. Carter, CA/Z9
