I say a few seedling cause they are only part of what I have as you can see from the photo below Blomma, and yes they are all tropical hibs seedling, I lost about a hundred to insects, birds, rats, iguanas that like to eat them, too much rain at certain time last year, rain was a killer.

And you haven't seen my Desert Rose seedling or my Amaryllis seedling, have around 60 types of amaryllis and I had them bloom almost all at the same time so I cross pollinated them all to see what would happen not thinking the would all set seed pods, from 4 to 6 seed pods each plant and each pod had 20 to 30 seeds in them so at the end I had thousands of seeds but only had time to plant a few hundred of them rest of seeds were lost as they have a short life cycle. Now I just have to wait two to three more years to see what come out of the Amaryllis seed I planted as I do with the Tropical Hibs, At least the Desert Rose takes only a year to bloom, only have about two hundred since I given a lot of seeds to some friends I have, use to though away the seeds since I didn't have the time to plant them and they also have a short life cycle, right now have only few seed pods left on DR plants, but I have had from time to time more than 50 bods on them and each pod can produce 20 to 70 seeds.

Now to answer you question, { what will you do with them all } easy, Go Crazy trying to transplant them all into individual pot to let them grow for two or three years to see what comes out of them.
