I'm growing a very limited number of plants during the Winter. These are all crosses and I'm starting them early in case they inherit any extra-long season traits.

Nice healthy little babies, Charles!
Are the hairy ones Galapo crosses?
Close, but no cigar... something almost equally exotic..
Definitely 2... maybe 3...
Thank you, I was worried that wouldn't ripen like the P d. N, but it did in the end...
Were your galapas hairy as soon as they broke the surface? I have a second one coming up now,and they are alittle fuzzy but not like yours. Hope I didn't mix my seeds up. A couple other wilds I have came up without hair but got fuzzy after a couple days.
Everything's doing well, I'm just taking a photo break until my regular 2013 seedlings get more photogenic...
When they first emerge you have to look very close to see the hairs (especially if you're starting them in somewhat dark conditions), after a couple of days in decent light they start to look more fuzzy. Give it some time... if it's not real fuzzy, who knows maybe it's a cross if not a mix-up...
I have cgn 22208 also,I am gonna toss them in some dirt. It could be certain ones aren't as fuzzy??? I have seen 3 different accession numbers. Thanks for the info.
As far as I understand it, the different accession numbers really don't produce consistently different results. It's a wild plant, so they're not stabilized in the same way as non-wilds. I think if it's not furry, it's not galapagoense since this is one of the main morphological features used in IDing them.
Some of them take forever and have some strange germination requirements. Last year after giving up on some I put them in my basement near a window (cooler temps and some partial periodic sun) where they finally germinated when they felt like it.
Thanks PG, I'll start up my 2013 glog one of these days.
