Tecophilaea seed

I also had no success germinating Tecophilaea seed until I was given
some fresh seed in mid-October. They did not experience any hot
conditions, but germinated in one month.

Unfortunately at some point well before they were big enough to
flower, I treated them inconsiderately during dormancy, from which
they never emerged.

I am trying again. 12 Archibald seeds, in my house - about 18 C in
the daytime. 6 weeks have passed (sigh).
