I didn't find it offensive, just made me laugh. Didn't know they were commonly called that so was suprised at the title.

Whatever these may be, they're now seperate. One still has the "blob" on top.

Oh :(

I did sterilise the soil before hand, wondered why they shot up so quick. They are weird, the blob on top looks like the seeds did after soaking them.

Guess i'll start again lol

I was pretty suprised they came through so quick. All were soaked either in water or in wet paper towels. I cut off a tiny bit off the tips of all the seeds, some of the i cut off bits of the outer layer too. I can't see a shell, these were sown 1/2-3/4cm under the soil not on top. Both shoots go in...

My first one appeared on the 27th April about 2 weeks after they were sown, the last 2 lots have come up just a few days apart.

Opuntia ellisiana

Ok, so the first one that sprouted somehow ended up out of the soil and fell over. The second one got a little bent when it hit the cling film as I hadn't checked them for a few days, i tried to bend it back and unfortunately decapitated it, oops! So today I go and look and find this http://i625.pho...
