Yes, I came across albino seedlings 3 or 4 times.
Not one of them lived to be a bigger plant. They all went into that big garden in the sky before they got 4 leaves.
I really didn't want them to die, either. I agree with you that it's sad.
It's the circle of life. Some acorns become mighty oaks while others are eaten soon after hitting the ground.
