So, the first picture is of some flava rubricorpa that I have sprouted from the seed bank. The second is some of my flava x purpurea seeds that I harvested. The were planted at the same time and on the same medium. I have noticed both times that I have planted the rubricorpa seed, it produced a long stem before the two cotyledon leaves. Other sarrs that I have sprouted (flava & alata) don't have a stem this long.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why the rubricorpa produce these stems?

Possibly to get its leaves above some other foliage for more sunlight exposure.(educated guess)

I know, but could it be possible that the seed grows that stem right away so that the seedling gets more sunlight?
