Some seeds just take forever to sprout !

Amorphophallus henryi , is an attractive small species from Taiwan . Very fast growing , I have got seeds in 3 years . I got another batch of seeds from one of the plants in my collection very early this year . And I had given up on them. Heard back from Jeremy at Melbourne Botanic Garden , and he had not seen any sprouts . WEll , there is a heap of sprouts in a pot today , nearly 1 year to sprout !

My morphis (saurmatum venosum) grow in the full afican sun. One i had in a place that was not quite accessible due to being narrow and covered in plants and every year seeds seem to wash down and germinate, I have a lot of sauermatum venosum currently, small bulbs but all acclimatised to grow in the sun. It took 5 years but they seem to do just fine.
