editing this as I forgot to say seed pods
hi all
I looking for some Devil's Claw seed pods. I'll pay for the postage and send it back by return. Less than 10 would be good but any amount less that that will be appreciated.
This is a photo of what I'm looking for.

Hi, are you planning a project or something with the nasty pods, I say nasty because they are pointy and pretty wicked!! But they are cool. Just wondered as I don't have any pods just seeds. (and it is tricky getting those seeds outta there!!)
That is realy rare that, I bet that you cant find it from here...
I like them to. No project with them just want them as a curio in my sun room
I know people here have them, I just cannot remember who. You may want to do a search. I have seen people offer them to those that are looking. They may just not have seen your post. Now that you brought them up, they are one of those things I always mean to grow again. LOL
I know I have some,or had some...thinking DH got rid of them,they were stuffed in a 12 pack cardboard box ,he may have thought it was garbage
Those are really neat. I saw some in an arrangement a couple of years ago but it was too expensive for my taste. Good luck with your search.
thanks
Mark, I see you have not yet found any pods, would you be interested in some of my seeds to grow them yourself?? If so let me know ok?
Thanks
Laurrie
Mark, have you ever grown the plants? If not, you should try them! They are quite interesting. :)
Laurrie, if you have any extra seeds, please E me. I don't think I saved any and even if I do find some, they are several years old! LOL
yeah but how big do they grow and how long does it take from seed to seed pod. The reason I ask is because some plants dont get to flowering stage here because our summers arent good enough.
I honestly don't know how they would do there for you, with the weather being different than my zone 5, which they are trying to move up to zone 6 but I am leery of that one. Maybe someone who has grown them in similar zones would be able to help answer this better than I could.
Laurrie
I hope so.
I am in zone 6, probably a microclimate of 7. For me, if started indoors, they reach about 3x3 feet. My friend in VA said hers get about 5x5 and a friend in TX said about the same thing. They will self seed but not obnoxiously. It is just one of those curious plants that you have to grow at least once. LOL The leaves stay moist and have downy hairs. The flowers remind me of pink and yellow freckled snapdragons. Then you get these big furry green pods that peel open to reveal that wicked pod. They surely are bizarre! I plan to grow them again next year. I have seen some neat little reindeer and dream catchers made from the pods.
OK I'll accept some seeds please.
Are they annual or perennial?
Mark, I have been looking and can't really find any consistent info on the hardiness of these. I do know the seedlings are very easy to pull up and very easy to move. The leaves are sort of like huge African Violet leaves. I think I have something that will make you very happy though! I was speaking of these and my daughter informed me there was a coffee can full of pods in the fruit cellar. I guess I did not pitch them after all! LOL So if you still want 10-12, let me know! I don't know about the seeds being viable as they have been downstairs probably 3 years, but they were in a cool, dark dry cellar. Hmm....
what a find. I'll take pods please and I'll take some of Ohios seeds
Ok Mark, and Badseed, if you send me your email, I will be sure to get you some. OK
Laurrie
Ohio breezy do you have any more to spare? I could sase or trade some of the seeds I have. LMK. Thanks
I do have more seeds, drop me an email please and we can work out the details.
Laurrie
Badseed the Devil's Claws arrived today thanks very much. I'll be returning the postage as soon as possible.
OhioBreezy, would you happen to have any seeds or pods (I will get the seeds out of the pod if you don't want to deal with them)left to share? I saw these once growing in a lady's garden here in zone 7b and they were very unusual indeed. I would love to add them to my gardens too. Please let me know and I will see if I have some seeds to interest you in exchange or send you a SASE whichever you prefer. Please contact me. Thanks, CB :)
Got me goin' again looking for this. I found an interesting site containing some info on the devils' claw

I am glad they got there Mark. I just went looking for this post to email you. Being the time of year and the distance they had to go.....
Badseed you are Michelle? I lost your return address to send you the postage
LOL Mark! You forgot who I was?? hehehe I'll email you.
it's not easy to remember someone with two names
Wow,I remember all your names
You're Mark
and "that guy from Ireland"
and "the guy who knows all about bulbs".......
am I forgetting any?LOL
thats cos I'm a pain in the rear LOL
I know people on here mainly by their DG name not their real name. The latter maybe less than 6.
I forgot about this post! I am pretty good with names. I don't get on here as much as I used to but that may change soon. I guess it depends which takes up more time-my soon to be previous job, or a new baby. LOL
