Cold Stratification Update (Success!)

I took a peek at the 2-liter bottles which have been outside since 20 Mar, and to my (pleasant) surprise, I could see that the seeds in some of the bottles had in fact started germinating!!! I decided to take the germinated seeds (almost 100% of them germinated) from the bottle containing ‘Common Milkweed’ and transplanted them to smaller containers where they’ll be kept under the grow lights to finish their growth. Here are some pics from today’s HAPPY surprise…

This bottle contained plant ID ‘19014’ – common milkweed.- seeds.
Overhead shot once I removed the duct tape and opened the bottle.
Aren’t they cute?? Baby (common) milkweed!!!
Another pic of the tiny root emerging from the seed.
I transplanted the tiny seeds into condiment containers. They’ll now be kept indoors under grow lights.
