But what about the fire? Besides, I don't have GA3 and bleach doesn't sound like as much fun.

Um, @ChefDean?

You could do smoke treatment if you're adventurous, why not!

I would've burned my house down so I chickened out and got the powder

I make no guarantees. However, they were in a little envelope that, I think, I received my B. Liniflora seeds in. Again, no guarantees.
If they do turn out to be a form of Coleoptera excrement (beetle poop) I'll make sure to take care of you.

I heard byblis and smoke! This will be epic. I'll have my daughter film it. I would ask my wife but she will be manning the fire extinguisher. I'll need to find some other stray seeds and see how they respond to a minor brush fire.

Not to extinguish your plans (see what I did there?), but if they are leftover Liniflora, they germinated for me without any special treatment. Just a sow and grow.

Shame. When my filifolia or rorida stops acting stuck up about what pollen they receive, I'll send you some seeds so you can recreate the miracle of nature.
