beckygardener said:When I say they die, they shrivel up to almost completely flat when drying in a paper envelope for a week. The embryo inside the seed dies and the seed starts to deteriorate, shrink, and flatten. Failure to germinate, of course, is another sign.

I had some do that, shrivel up, but others looked perfectly normal and stored well, but just didn't germinate. Other seeds I got from Cindy germinated, so it wasn't my method of germination that was the problem. I am going to leave them on the plant longer this year!
