Vigna Caracalla seed pods

Oakley, CA

Has anyone ever experienced the seed pods from their snail/corkscrew vines simutaneously exploding? Last night at dusk, roughly 100 + seed pods exploded at once, throwing seeds at least 30 feet in all directions. Totally peppered my husband & the dog, my daughter heard it from inside. Great way to propagate! I bet my neighbors might be seeing some new vines in their yards come spring. ; )

Wow! I never heard of that. You might be able to do a google search and find out more about it. Anyway your post made me laugh. I can imagine what a surprise it was to your husband and dog!
