I drool every time you post photos of this one. She's gorgeous. Congrats on the seed capsules.

The pods will take a loooong while to ripen. The sepals and petals haven't even dried up yet.

Yea, they are still very green, too. Even the biggest one has no trace of yellowing. Just getting fatter and fatter!

if you still want to send them to a good home i want to try flasking i would love to have one.

[susiep]

Sure thing, Bryan. I will contact you when they are ready.

Hey everyone! The biggest seed pod popped open last night. Unfortunately I didn't have the coffee filter on it. I covered it now, but is it contaminated? Should I just toss it?

no as long as it still has seeds in it. they get sterilized before sowing anyway.

That's a fabulous plant you have there and WOW pods!!!!
I don't know much about this but would it be an idea to put a coffee filter round each pod now so as to 'catch' all of the seed when it does start splitting? incase you're not there watching ? ....

I love that plant! It is just beautiful. i really wish I knew how to flask. It would be a neat forum project to flask them and eventually pass them out. Would if I could.
