What is this. I have never seen it on my monster brug before. Usually the whole stem falls off after the bloom fades. If this is a seed pod formation how do I save it as we are only a month or so away from having frost?? I have about 20 of them on it. Also if this is a seed pod formation can it be from a cutting of its self or is it from my Dr. Suess. I have a plant beside it that is a cutting of its self but i don't think it was blooming over the last couple of weeks. I hope it's Dr. Suess because the white is an incredible grower and it would be a good combonation I think. Nothing fases it. It has never even been bothered by bugs.
