Colorectal Surgeon vs. Gastroenterologist. Many patients often do not know if they need to see a Colon and Rectal Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist for their symptoms or condition. Moreover, even more are confused as to the difference between a Colon and Rectal Surgeon and a Gastroenterologist. The differences between the two specialties can be quite large.
Magnolia stellata needs a cold period (at least 2 to 3 months) for germination. I sow freshly cleaned seed in rounds (multiple seeds per pot) and place in a critter-proof frame outdoors (chipmunks, squirrels, and other animals love to eat the seed and/or dig through the rounds to bury their nuts).
Seeds stored in paper envelopes dry out a lot, and take a long time to rehydrate. Most should germinate in 21-40 days. Seeds stored in plastic bags after drying 24-48 hours and then refrigerated germinate much quicker. Mine stored that way germinate within 3-21 days. Don't give up too quickly.his is my first attempt at sprouting seeds (my own crosses) and I'm experimenting with an Aero Garden with an insert (70 grow medium plugs). The water supply is from below (keeps the grow plugs moist) and there are grow lamps. The seeds were refrigerated for 4-5 months in paper envelopes. I didn't soak them.
