Seed pods

13 years ago

sorry - new to this site and not sure what i'm doing :) Anyways, we have several plants growing from seed pods, none of which have ever bloomed. some of them have diffent leaves from the "mother" plant, others are identical. Any advise?

what advice are you looking for? they're hybrids, meaning their genetics are contributed from two different plants, unless it was a selfing, which would bring out the recessive genes in the offspring.
