Indigo Rose seeds with black streaks
I just fermented some seeds from Indigo Rose and noticed that there were some dark ones which I was going to remove. When I viewed them through the magnifying glass, it turned out that there were quite a few seeds with black streaks in them.
Does anyone know if this phenomena is peculiar to the Indigo Rose variety? Linda |

hi Linda,
I've noticed the black markings with that variety and many of the seeds also have an elongated shape. There is nothing wrong with the seed - it's just different. Lee |

Thanks Lee!
I noticed that when they dried, the dark streaks were not noticeable. They must be a "feature" of IR. Linda |
