Bird of Paradise seeds are cool

These seeds are almost to pretty to plant.  They have tufts of bright orange hair in a deep purple or black seed.  The package suggests making a cut in the seed and then soaking them for 48 hours.  A random video suggested removing the orange hair, not making the cut, and soaking for only 4 hours.  So I soaked for 3 days, removed the hair, and made the cut after the soak.  Following instructions might not be in my wheel house.

Thanks for reading!
