It's not a surprise, really, when seeds have to be kept bone dry or they will sprout. Once they are dry, what would change internally?

I know. Seeds survive fire, dormancy, etc. I just find it facinating that I had never heard about the London Museum seeds.

I posted a thread earlier this year about the incredible blooms going in in Death Vally this year due to the high rain levels. Nature will not be stopped.

It's still amazing to me. The idea that the seed has been alive for 2000 years just bowls me over.
