Joebass said:Bad news is that there was only one viable seed and the embryo was actually sticking out of the seed so it went to the chaff pile.
So was the embryo growing?
I have seen dried Lilium seeds with the embryo poking out of the endosperm, but never thought anything detrimental was happening. It's very common for embryos to naturally position themselves at the edge of the seed in myriads of genera throughout the plant world. With lilies it tends to show itself in seed batches where all the seeds lean toward that trait in varying degrees. No evidence to back up whether the poked out ones were good or not, though.
