Hmmmm, very nice! And that first pic looks like a root to me, which is weird because it's coming out of the end you'd think would be "up" naturally. But come to think of it, when I start morning glory seeds (which I do in a paper towel), the root comes first and it always seems to curl down, no matter how the seeds are placed in the towel. Hey, you could try that, just to see! Just wrap a few seeds in a damp paper towel, stuff it into a plastic baggie and put it somewhere warm till they sprout.
