Seeds from light blue plants from maxx2's 2019G.
Events
December 14, 2019: Seeds sown (16 seeds from maxx2's 2019G in milk jug @ room temp. Floated the rest (probably ~4 viable - 4 floaters & 4 sinkers) as a test, since the seeds remind me of Amaryllis seeds).)
December 22, 2019: Seeds germinated (1 of the "floated" seeds that sank showing a radical (added it to the milk jug with the other seeds; moved the milk jug to the bathroom floor to the side of the heater vent); another sinker showing a radical on 12-23-19 (will leave this one a while to see if it can progress under water; dropped the water level such that the seeds are barely covered); the other 2 sinkers were showing their radicals on 12-26-19. (All 4 sinkers germinated in water.) Also on 12-26-19, I can see one of the seeds sown in the milk jug (not the "sinker" that germinated first) has a nice, thick radical and has pushed the seed coat above the potting mix. On 12-29-19, moved the 3 germinated sinkers to the milk jug of potting mix. The oldest one didn't seem to be progressing in water. It might have if I'd left it alone, but I couldn't stand it.

As of 1/8/20, all 20 seeds had emerged. The 3 that I left in the water until 12-29-19 were the last to emerge.)
May 22, 2020: Potted up (20 - big, fleshy roots; had to swish them around in a pot of water for
a very long time to get them apart)
May 1, 2023: Bloomed (Two of the three plants I kept for myself opened their first blossoms in May 2023. Each plant sent up one flowering stem. The blossoms opened over a long season, and the seeds began maturing in August 2023. Only two or three seed pods still maturing as of September 19, 2023.)
