Seed #13 - He Is... No More

I mustn't have taken a photo of #13 on his deathbed, but don't feel like you're missing out, it wasn't that great of a passing, he just fell asleep and never woke up...

Seed #13 - Standing Tall, Cotyledons Opening

Just yesterday, this sprout was bent into the soil in an upside-down U. It's amazing what can happen in a day. This photo is a bit out of focus, but you can see how the cotyledons are paired up on either side. I expect them to open up in the next few days.

Seed #13 - Sprouting Without Seed Coat

I'm always happy to see a sprout without the seed coat. They seem to stand a better chance of opening their seed leaves this way.
