Hi Podster,

I just had a similar experience with Croton capitatus ~ Woolly hogwort. I was collecting seeds for a DG member and thought I heard some seeds popping. I put the pods in a pail to dry out & a couple of days later when I checked on them, they had all popped out of the pods and were laying in the bottom of the pail. Actually made things much easier! LOL

btw, I couldn't help but notice your Butterfly pea. I've got a vine growing here that looks just like it but ID'd it as Clitoria mariana AKA Atlantic pigeonwings. I think it's listed in the plant files. I recall having a difficult time trying to ID it and apparently, Centrosema virginianum and Clitoria mariana are often confused. Check it out and let me know what you think?

Here's a pic of mine showing the leaves too.
