I found this burst seed pod on my H. cumingiana on Sunday. I was floored because I did not think it was possible for one of the flowers to get pollinated in my short greenhouse season. What makes it even more amazing is that I had cut all the flowers off from the plant, before bringing it back inside in September. The plant was so big and dense I must have missed seeing the pod. I just happened to see this big puff of fluff that was hanging off the plant out of the corner of my eye.

I didn't know if the seed would be viable, but four days later around half have sprouted. It should be fun trying to grow these things out. I'm glad it was my cumingiana that had the seed pod, because that is by far my easiest to grow hoya. I should have a pretty good chance of growing a few of these out.
