Ginkgo seedling splits

Does it represent One living creature
which has divided itself?
Or are these Two, which have decided,
that they should be as One?

This Ginkgo seedling germinated about 3 weeks ago in my living room and splits at the top, very special!

Thank you, Mark
At 11/13/2007, brodi1 said...: I recently purchased some ginkgo seeds and followed the directions on how to get them started. I planted 5 of the seeds in bonsai containers on October 11th of this year and still have not seen anything come up yet. The package said that it would take about 4 to 6 weeks and longer if started in fall to winter. My question is, once they have sprouted, do i need to keep them in the house (for how long)or can i put them outside and then bring them in when it gets colder?

Thnak you, Mark

At 6/06/2009, kathy said...: I have 2 seedlings that are now about 2-3" tall. The top of the seed is out of the dirt. Either it is growing up out of the dirt, or my dirt has settled due to being outside in the rain. Question, should I add more soil/peat moss to keep the top of the seed under the soil?
