I am doing the Happy Dance big time!!!! I bought two seeds off ebay a year ago. I thought I had lost the first seed I tried to sprout but maybe I hadn't. Here is a picture of the last seed and it is starting to sprout. It was hard to try and make a hole through the tough outer shell. I finally did and let it soak for a day or two and than was able to make the hole abit bigger and than again left it soaking for another 4 or 5 days. I saw that the shell was starting to burst and crack so I than gently peeled off more the shell and did the coffee filter method. I can't believe I hadn't started this method sooner. I luv it!!!

Here is also a link to what my big baby could look like one day: http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/FACULTY/CARR/images/muc_ben_156...
