Hi Sooby , thanks for your input . I am aware of the difference between storage in the fridge and stratification which is why I don't understand why these seeds germinated . There is no moisture involved.
Where I am (extreme S.W . Ontario), come seed harvest time it is very dry and hot . Seeds when harvested are dried for a week (7 days) So you are saying I need to dry for longer ?
I have bags and bags of daylily seeds in that mini fridge I will do as you suggest and check temps in the fridge . Perhaps that is the problem , however it doesn't speak to why so many do germinate and so many do not.That goes for bags of seeds from the same plant , different pods , harvested at the same time and treated the exact same way . As I said , each pod gets its own little baggie. One bag of seeds will start to germinate while another is wholly unaffected and does not germinate. Just does not seem to make any sense.
