| Are these little eggs on the former flowers pups? The plant has lived here for a few years, mostly ignored, but I never noticed these before. Linda

| Those are ripening seed pods, yes. Congrats. |

| The seeds will turn red when ripe. Once you clean off the red seed coat the seeds are almost a translucent white and look kind of like eggs. Plant the seeds immediately as they don't store well. |

| Thank you for the info. I looked up the propogation online and it says they take a long time to turn red and to germinate. Hope we get lucky with some new ones. I'll try to keep an eye on them. Thank you, Linda |
