from the image I would guess: Top Seed: The embryo is small, underdeveloped and slightly visible. There is also under-developed endosperm. The chance the sprouting is slight but many times in candling this seed out and sowing there are remarkable sprouts that occur. Middle Seed: I would guess that the embryo is probably as large as the embryo of the bottom seed, but is of the same density as the endosperm and difficult to distinguish. Very likely to germinate. Bottom Seed: excellent likely-hood to germinate. When I candled seed for the North American Lily Society and packed seed as 20+ seed unit lots, I would count the middle and bottom seed as viable counts and add the top seed as bonus as they are worth sowing as well because in some crosses the top seed can produce more variation due to genetic variations and anomalies All the best, Michael.
