Ray,
I know that you are interested in germination data, so I thought that I
would post mine to date.

I should start by saying that I did not keep a note of numbers of seeds.
However, I know that generally there were around 10, so then I say that
they have germinated I am saying that I have roughly that number of
seedlings in a pot, not just one or two.  All seed were planted on  98022=3
and I review germination at weekly intervals.  Each entry below is in the
format: name (donor), germination date.
