(There was a question on germination, but it was other people, 2 in fact, one of them being Russ, that had the problem. People who got seeds from me and my own saved and started seeds, had no germination issues.)
I know you got your seeds from Russ and I was told it was stable by Russ, and what I got was what it was supposed to be according to pictures posted and descriptions given.
When saving seeds,just speaking for myself now, I always leave room for possible errors, and well I remember the seeds of I think it was possibly Medovaya Kaplya, I'd saved about 2000 seeds and it was only after offering it in seed offers and also listing for quite a few years in the SSE Annual that two folks posted pictures in the Fall feedback thread here at Tville and it sure wasn't the MV that I ever knew.
I've said many times here at Tville in many threads for many years that when I'm perfect in all that I do I won't be on earth anymore,I'll be under it.
