I have seedlings!

19 years ago

I was sent sone mixed Neo. seeds by the person I purchased some plants from on e-bay. I have been watching, but until today I hadn't seen much other than a little mould from some chaff, which I removed as I saw it starting. Today the seeds are standing up, and I see green. They are way too small for my camera, but I do see one little vase with the help of a magnifying glass.

Don't get your hopes up too high, bambi. Only about 1% of Neo. hybrid seedlings turn out to be worth saving, and without knowing the parentage it's even more of a crap shoot. It'll be good practice though, and who knows, you may hit the jackpot!

Its been 20 years since I started any bromeliad seed, it is nice to see I can still do it. I know its not rocket science. I'm not expecting much, but like you said you never know.

The flowers on Cheers did open, I froze some pollen for later.
