Thanks for posting this, I would not have guessed what they were...wonder if I have pulled some up thinking they were weeds, ha.

One of these plants, Green Dragon, popped up in one of my flower beds. No others around and have never seen one before. I understand that the red grape-like pod is really the plant's fruit. What can be done with his fruit? Can it be stored and planted in the spring or later in the fall to 'make' more Green Dragons?

Mine sow themselves. I started with 1 plant and now I have a bunch in the area. A bird probably brought you yours.

I believe these may actually be seedlings from the very similar plant Pinellia pedatisecta. There are few resources to show first-year seedlings of A. draconitum, but this old article has good drawings. You’ll see that it is not a heart-shape.
