Hi Tom!

Thanks very much, but no.
I meant to say that they germinated at a much lower % as the rest. 
But still I have enough (seeded a lot); they are even on my swap list.

I have put a mssg in that c&s seed group today about a very strange 
phenomenon. I have seeded lots of packs, and 8/%, maybe more, 
germinates at a 75-80% rate. 5%: nothing. And the rest NEVER 
germinates for say 30 or 40 or 50%. Generally, "always", its 80 or 
its 10-20%. (Mind you: I am talking about c&s, not just Agaves.)
Strange...

Nice Eastern!
