I unearthed a package of NARGS seed from 1995, soaked them for 72 hrs. in
plain ole tap water and sowed them in early February 2001...7 of 21 Arisa=ema
species germinated: 6 species (3 collections of flavum, consanguineum,
sikokianum, tortuosum) within 4 weeks and 1 species (a different collecti=on
of consanguineum) within 12 weeks, and I haven't given up on the remainin=g
species.  The seeds were stored in my laundry room at home in their origi=nal
packaging...oh well.
