| Yes, that's what you have. If you wish to harvest the seeds, you will have to wait until the pods turn light brown and each section of the top opens up before you harvest them. Seeds need to be removed from the pod, and air-dried for at least 4 days. Some dry them a week or longer. You can either plant them right away or store them in a small ziplock bag in the fridge until later. Nancy |

| Your pods normally will take from 6 weeks to 2 months or longer to mature. It varies from plant to plant. The climate is also a factor. Nancy |
