A. elephas

Ellen, Ray et al

It would appear that A. elephas needs TWO cold periods to produce an eophyll
(that's Guy's word!), at least for me. I now have one pot (Tony's seed) which
was:
A. planted directly into wet turface 11-24-96,
B. refrigerated 3-23-97,
C.out 5-3-97 (I know, Craig, too soon!),
D. refrigerated again 8-3-97 (at which time little green tuberlets were
seen).
E. Out of refrigerator 11-3-97 and finally
F. on Dec 2 the first eophyll appeared. There are now about 6 up and a few
more appearing.

This is the same pattern that I've seen with A. thunbergii urashima, and with
the mystery species of Carol Fyler, which is now up about 100%.

I think that if this were just a problem of seed storage, such as I just
described in the "Great Experiment", we all would have seen something
happening before now, instead of what appears to be a uniform picture.

Tony and Roy, what about your experience?
