Incoming seed is examined to determine embryo count to help decide how much seed should be sown, and/or which capsule would be the best to sow. Permanent sample slides are also prepared. Each separate package of seed is examined because these are generally from separate capsules, which is what we request from our donors.

Packet received was a folded coffee filter.
Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior.
Seed is off-white to the naked eye. Small seeds are short-rice shaped, straight, and have small sized elongated pale embryos centrally located which completely fill the seed if present. A few seeds appear to be present with other material from capsule. Yield is not expected to be high.
