Three of the seven have their first true leaves already (immediate hypogeal). An unexpected development. Never had that happen with any L. szovitsianum or L. monadelphum seed. Perhaps it might be from the L. bulbiferum parentage. I have not tried that species from seed yet.

The leaves would surely shrivel away if I brought them out of the bag and properly planted them, so the bag sits upside-down now (as shown in the pics) so light can reach the leaves.
