Well, there is some order in that chaos after all.

It comes now much closer to my image of
a viable sprout.

As wee as this little citrus is (see penny), it was butting up against the saran wrap already.
So I removed the wrap for a somewhat less humid environment.

This is so far the only one of the first four seeds. Two were victims of my clumsiness. Once they
come close to sprouting these seeds are extremely tender. That is another reason, why I would
not use the plastic bag method again. The handling is just too rough on the tender seeds in the
pre-sprouting phase.
