Dear All,            Sept 13, 2007
    I recently washed some Rosa rugosa seeds free of ripe pulp and after 
brief drying put them in a dish of water to remove remaining traces of pulp.

    They floated but in a non-uniform distribution, i.e. in clusters. 
This appears to be a surface tension.effect. When one seed is pulled 
away from a cluster 5 mm or so ii is slowly and then more rapidly drawn 
to the nearest seed.
Yt, DW
