FINALLY a few of my attempted crosses took!

I'm pretty pleased about it!

Most if them don't look they will have time to mature outdoors, and past experience says that digging the plants and potting them to grow on in the GH, won't work, they drop the infrutesense...

Because I get so much better growth in the ground almost all my bloomers are there...not potted...

There's a few seed heads that will make it( if the critters leave em alone, raccoons are picking at them) and one that was already ready!

It was a partially seeded head, maybe 30% of them took, after tedious hours of seed cleaning, it yielded this...

Stupid oxymorons!
The potentially largest plant I own...yields the tiniest seeds in the yard!
Not only that, even when rinsed they are tacky and clump together!

So...I have some ideas of what to do with them, ill elaborate more later...but it would seem that if I can can get another 2 weeks if no frost that I may just have about 20k seeds...I can't handle growing that many out in winter! No way no how!
I'd love to hear suggestions on how to start them and keep some going this winter!
What I REALLY would like is advice on how to store them. I know aroid seeds do not store well!
I only need them to hang on until march at the latest, but that's six months away ( omg Grumbling 6 months until I can grow again...😥).

What to do...what to do...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
