This is the pod on my Mountain Magic,but the stem is turning yellow.What does that mean?

When the stem yellows the pod is almost ready ...I think after it turns a straw colour and the pod starts to soften then you can pick it. Here is a picture of mine for you ...the stem yellow and the pod looks slightly soft overipe fruit.

This is a ripening pod ...see the one behind the first one, the stem is yellowing off. Both these pods were harvested shortly afterwards and yeilded lovely seeds, good luck with yours.

here they are ^_^ the peeled seed is at the bottom of the pic.

Thank you Chrissy,thank you,for letting me know and showing me yours.That is a big help with the photos.Good luck to you as well.

This sounds stupid, but I am very new to brugs, Going on my second year. They bloom at the end of summer where I live.
Then its time cut them down. (take cuttings) for next year.
I have never been able to see one continue to grow.
My question is after it blooms it will form a seed pod like the one above. And will it loose all its foliage prior to that?

Thank you.:)

Katrun,i'm still new too it as well.Once they bloom and you hybridiz the flower,then not long after that the flower will fall off.In time the seedpod will start to form.This was my first time hybridizing.I know once you hybridiz you don't have as long to enjoy the flower.They form different seedpods.They can come in all kinds of sizes.I have a book where it shows seedpods different sizes.I don't think they all lose foliage on the plant.I know mine did,it took all it's energy to grow the seed pods.It may vary rather you lose the foliage or not.By the way your question was not stupid.I think i would be upset too if i could not enjoy them all the way too.
