Do These Look Like They Will Grow?

I found a lot of berries on my Alabama Crimson honeysuckle, and I harvested some to see what the seeds would look like. The berries were orangey-red and starting to get wrinkled.

This is what the seeds look like.

Do they look like they will germinate? I can't find any description of what the seeds should look like.

Thanks,

They look like they could be slightly light in color but if the berries were starting to shrivel the seeds should be mature. Late summer to early fall is typically when lonicera seeds ripen...

Here is a link that might be useful: Lonicera seed photo

Thank you so much morz8.. I have bookmarked that seed site. I am sure I will need to refer to it again. :-)
