I had bought some apono bulbs a while back, one sprouted but it was a weak srpout and it grew slow and ended up breaking off. So I took them out and dried them in the sun and sent them back to the company.
Finally last Tuesday (over a month later), I received a manilla envelope from them containing a good handfull of bulbs. I only sent them four. These bulbs are a lot fresher than those store bought bulbs, still soft on the inside with a skin kinda like a potato. They have been in the tank 3 days and two out of 4 are sprouting vigorusly.
Anyways, they also had three different bulbs mixed in with the apono's they sent me. These three bulbs are huge in size compared to apono bulb and are dark brownish black in color. The way they look it almost looks like a poppy pod. I dont know what they are but I plopped one in the tank and it sprouted before any of the apono's did (about a day and a half).
Here is a picture of the other two:
