It was actually pretty funny. I just absolutely was not paying attention to how I was planting those darned seeds (and it took me two tries to get enough to even germinate). I couldn't figure out why they looked so odd when they started to sprout. It took me a day or so to realize I was seeing the root instead of a stem. You will be relieved to know I now have bifocals, so my glasses are on ALL of the time. Sighhhhh....
I've used the deno method for a few other things with good success. I usually do this each year for my Bells of Ireland, which like a stratification period.
