So,I had a small unlabeled baggie in my seed stash with some crushed little black seeds in it,a few of which weren't crushed.So,about a couple of months ago,I dumped them out in one of my potted plants soil.Well,they eventually sprouted,and this is what I got.Do you guys think the middle on is a Loph or not?I know they are still too small,but it sure looks like one to me.

Dang,I've never grown any Lophs from seed before,because I always just found it easier to acquire already mature specimens,so this is quite the treat!

It is easier, but it's so much more fun to grow them from seed. You're facing five or six years before you have decent specimens, but they'll be plants you can be proud of, instead of being proud of the tens of dollars you spent buying one.

Yeah,you are exactly right,and I am proud that I grew these from seed I'm going to work on some grafting when the weather warms up.
