Seed pod of Versicolor cross

Norwalk, IA(Zone 5b)

This is a large seed pod of Ver. Alba X Ver. Milk and Honey it had about a zillion seeds in it and since has produced two sibling seedlings that are large Ver. Style whites.Heavy fragrance.In the pic the seed pod was about half developed.

Eclipse - I think we're at a loss for words. That's like the giant pumpkin of pods.

I can't even imagine having a seed pod that large and not even being full grown. How many seeds did you grow out of it?

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

BrugNanny, he may not have counted them.It probably would have taken DAYS to count them all. LOL

Kyle,

That pod looks like one of those yard long beans in development. I'm shocked!!

Brug Nanny...I planted about 20 seeds and stored the rest.Most of the offspring were white versicolors.

How do you store seeds? How long can you keep them stored and they still be fully viable? Do some seeds have a longer storage life than others? If so, which ones can you store the longest.

I am just full of questions tonight!!

Brug nanny..I have stored seeds as long as 7 years..but the viability goes down quickly on Brug seeds. datura seeds can stay viable for decades!For each year in storage the germination rate drops about 20 % or more..keep them dry in the dark and room temp.

I would like to have seen it when it was full grown. Bet Cala couldn`t resist that one.{{{Hugs}}} Cala.
