I found these seeds in my seed box and they were unlabeled! I know, it is my fault, but would really like to figure them out. I have about 100 seeds that I have soaked, cleaned, and placed them in a baggie and into my seed germination chamber. Shoot, they may not even be banana seeds, but they sure look kinda like one. I know I would not want to chomp down on one as they are hard as a rock and about the same size as a small pebble. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially from the seed gurus!!!
Thanks...

Well, I do remember getting some sikki 'Red Tiger' seeds from RPS in '08, but thought I already tried and failed with them.. Maybe not!!! Takes all for your input. I will repost, if and when I get them to germinate!!!

Well with the GermiNator built you should be good to go :^)

My guess was either a scraggly looking yucca or coal :^)

Yeah, they are in there and warming and cooling and warming and cooling!!! Someone else suggested yucca, but I have two problems with that. 1) I have not ever gotten yucca seeds. 2) I have never seen yucca seeds look like this. All the ones I have seen are flat!

I agree with Gabe15....I think they are some kind of Sikkimensis, they look just like the 2 R T seeds sent to me and that I planted about a week ago!
