Coincidence
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
This afternoon I was in a shop buying ink cartridges for my printer when I received a text message from my brother. He excitedly told me that the Sequoia seeds already sprouted. It almost sounded like a miracle considering that Giant Sequoias grow in the very cold Northern California. But I was so impressed with the huge Sequoias I saw in the Avenue of the Giants, that I took my chances and brought the seeds here in warm Philippines.
On New Year’s Day, we placed the seeds in a mini greenhouse inside the refrigerator following instructions from the kit that goes with the seeds. And that after 20 days, it should be removed and placed in a sunny area. Refrigerating supposedly gives the impression of winter, and that sunshine after 20 days signals spring, which is the time for new growth and budding. And that is exactly what happened! And we were thrilled! However, there were 6 six seeds in the mini greenhouse, but only one sprouted? A few minutes ago, my brother text again and he said that there is another sprout, and probably another in the morning. This is truly fascinating!
But here’s more - The shop where I bought the ink cartridges is called Great Sequoia Enterprise. I was inside the shop when my brother text me about the sprouting Sequoia seeds. . . .
That is cool!:-)
