As far as germination success...none here! I have had 100 seeds in the propagator for 8 months now with nothing yet.

Oooh! That doesn't sound promising. Were they fresh seeds? I collected mine from dried fruit still on the plant. Maybe that will make a difference?

After 8 months, I might just order some tissue cultures.

I've also got some Zebrina seeds. Any luck/experience germinating those?
