I also ordered some seeds called Ulupica.  The person that sent them to me,
said
that they are difficult to germinate, and that bottom heat and nicking the
seed coat
helps.  After about 3 weeks only a couple (out of 9) have come up.  I used
the
bleach-soak method and bottom heat.

Can someone verify that Ulupica is really C. cardenasii?  My seeds came
still in
in the pods.  The pods are red and about the size of a BB (maybe 2-4 mm),
each having about 1-3 seeds.
