Hippeastrom seed germination

Doug,

Jim Shields told me about a floatation method. I use a clear sweet-roll
container, which I have dutifully emptied of it contents, with about 3
inches of tap water for the seeds to float in. I started a batch of my
'Piquant' selfed seeds a week ago in my garden window and have already
started having seed germinate. I used this same technique last year on
'Minerva' x 'Red Lion' seeds and had about 90% germination.
