Bang, they're out! They sure respond fast when they're ready. Ready was several weeks ago for some species here, and of course its been warm and sunny ever since :curses:

I know, I could have watered them first of july already, because of the hot April and autumn July, but I was reluctant to initiate growth that early.
Of course the least drip of water makes them explode...

Well, Tom, I did start watering mine some weeks ago. They've been under the bench until now, to shade from the non-existent sun, lol! All coming through, and C. pellucidum from Tweefontein is one of my favourites! I've sown lots of seed from this location over the years, and have had the full range of colours - they glow so much when just hatched!

Regards,
