Visible embryos appear in the flat seeds of a number of members of the
lily family, whether or not the seed is going to germinate soon.
I agree, a visible embryo does not mean germination will be immediate,
see the guide to lily germination on the wiki, which describes the
complications:

What I meant was if you can't see an embryo (given you can see through
the seed), germination is definitely not going to happen for some time.
My experience was that for many frit. species once the embryo has
developed germination will not take much longer, but for some species
that is not the case.
