Hydnophytum papuanum and Myrmecodia beccarii Seeds

Noe was able to get several Hydnophytum fruit last night - and I went ahead and planted some this morning before I left for work.  I was originally planning to use the open basket pots that I used to plant the Myrmecodia beccarii seeds in because I thought the seeds weren't going to germinate.  Of course when you have plans for something...  As I looked at the pots, I could see that the seeds did germinate.  You can see them in these pictures -



I'll try and take better pictures this afternoon.  Anyways - Plan B - get a few pots set up with sphagnum moss and drop the new seeds in.


I'll see if Noe will give me another seed - if yes, then I'll try using the Ant Plant Mounts I recently made.  For now, here are the seeds all set up.




If these are like the Hydnophytum formicarum - I should see germination in two days (which is what I expect).  If they are more like the Myrmecodia beccarii, well I'll have to go back through the posts on this blog to see how long it took...  two weeks???
