Thanks dwfl and luketrollope.
The lengthy explanation of luketrollope made me to laugh at several points when I went through. Anyway, loved to read all. In fact I was worried about what I said before having read the article in dwfl's link.
I have planted one seed from Raul which has sprouted and the shoot is growing like a red arrow. Love to watch daily. I found another seed from Colombo which has not yet sprouted. But the two seeds are in similar shape but Raul's seed is very big. I am waiting to see how the smaller one sprouts.
Anyway, merry christmas and happy new year to both of you and to all members of the Forum
