Hi ,taramak,
Yes, the C.crispa seeds are large as the C.seeds go.
I also am a novice at C. seed finding, but one of the most important things,
as you know, seems to be getting the ripe seeds.--those produced by
the first flowers in particular that bloomed in spring.
To get these seeds it's advisable to leave a first few flowers with out cutting them all.LOL

Hi caron,
These seeds are all fresh ones.I think fresh ones are easier to germinate.
I put some tap water in the bag without useing a paper towel.
As you suggest, contaminants are better removed.
Actually, the water in the bag where I sowed C .crispa a few days ago
began coloring. there might have been some contaminants .
So I removed chaff and returned the seeds to the bag with new water.
