Many people carry with them a mustard seed as we know them, a small light-colored
seed about the size of radish seed. If you handle seeds at all you know that there are seeds
much smaller than the radish. In fact the mustard seed Jesus referred to is not the one you
may see today sealed in a ball of plastic. The seed Jesus had in mind was a tiny black
seed half the size of the smallest seed you may have for your garden. According to
Google, the world's smallest seed is the epiphytic orchid. It weighs only 35 millionths of
an ounce.
