Bit of a random Q: does anyone have any pictures of plants they grew from the seed bank?

Great idea! And a good excuse to play with the camera on my new phone

Here's three more.

Gave my sister some sarr seeds from seed bank that i left in fridge for 4 months. Aside from the accidentally cooked ones by CA sun Its looking pretty exciting!

Excellent idea, I have two pictures.

I've got a few

After many failures, here's my first successful Byblis liniflora from seed bank seed

Drosera filiformis from the seed bank.

Drosera regia - considering this was supposed to be "chaff" and I didn't see any actual seeds in the packet, I was very surprised to see some germinated. Drosera filiformis - not sure what the lanky plant in the corner is but otherwise very good germination rate after stratifying for 5 weeks. Drosera capensis - typicals mixed with alba

The donation was the leftovers after the largest seeds had been removed and donated as individual seed packets.
I figured there were viable seeds left in there but it was too much work to separate good stuff from the chaff
I'm glad you got some good results.
Congratulations!

That's just grass. Pull it now while it's easy.

So is this reserved for just "seed bank" seeds or can we post pics of seedlings/plants from seed of other users? I have some seedlings popping up from ALL of the seeds I purchased from @Panman.

Here's a few pics of some Mixed Drosera I got from the seed bank. Odd that they have stayed like this for a few weeks now without much else happening with them.
