18 yr old in my subtropical garden!
Today I harvested 2 fat seeds from a bee pod on Alexander's 'Maleny Eyecatcher'. They went straight onto a paper towel folded around them then into a ziplock bag and the fridge. They are not sitting in the water but there is quite a bit of water in the bag. I write the name and date on the paper towel

I did once but would never again plant seeds outside here. Over about 6 weeks I check and put them on a new paper towel and rinse the bag. Then I put them on the dining room table so I could keep an eye on them. When there is 1/2 " of green leaf and a root formed I plant them with the black seed just visible in small pots with a mix of peat moss, gravel and fairly fine old compost. Some I planted first into vermiculite.

I now have 55 sdlgs that I will have to plant out somewhere. But today was 33 degrees C here with winds that caused blackouts and no internet. So even though the sdlgs in pots are outside, they are protected most of the day.
