The seed pod on my Stephanotis Vine finally opened. Look what's inside! Would love to trade for something that will grow in my zone.
CLOSED: Stephanotis Seeds
Happy Easter 747,
I saw your post and just had to reply.
A grower Friend of mine I worked with at a greenhouse years ago. Gave me a pod.
I put it on top of my china cabinet. I would stay at boyfriends house and just go home to water plants and check on my house. I came home one day and there was this puffy stuff in the dinning room. I thought what in the world. Well my pod had bursted open and it is like a milk weed, in fact Bryron told me the same family. It was every where.
I wish I would have taken a picture of the seeds everywhere. That was six years ago.
I do have a Stephanotis plant that was given to me 15 years ago. I live in Michigan so it is an indoor plant. I do put her out in the early summer to help her get feeling better. But she does bloom for me every year. However, I moved to a new home and she had been up in the loft. Not looking very pretty but she is hanging in there. I am expecting a geenhouse kit in four weeks.She will be the first thing that goes in. I call her Stephie....
Thanks for sharing your story and bring back such a fond memory.

Great story!
I caught mine just as it split open so I avoided the mess.
You have DMail.
Oh my, toy. That is a beautiful plant. I'll have to think of something, to entice you. : )

I have Queen's Wreath, I can get you some cutting off of that. Are you coming to Molly RU? I forget.
~Lucy
Hi Lucy,
I would love a cutting of your Queen's Wreath and yes I am coming to Molly's RU. I can't wait!
Ok, I'll bring you some cuttings to the RU. I can't wait either. : )
~Lucy
And I will bring the seeds.
I think I might have a cutting of this vine but I'm not sure. If I do I will bring that for you as well.
Oh boy, I hope you do. That will be great. : )
So, so far I have Maltese cross, and Queen's wreath for you. Correct?
Yes that's great. Did you request Butterfly Pea vine? Did you want anything else?
I think I said something to someone about a butterfly pea. I can't remember, my thinker is shot these days. I am writing down what to bring to the RU, tho. I just hope I don't forget anything.
Were you the one that said something about bringing hoya cuttings, or was that Ginger? See, I'm telling you, my thinker is fading fast. lol : )
I think that was Ginger. I should probably go back and check the trade thread to see what I'm bringing for whom because I can't remember either.
That's what I am gonna do, Friday. Just to make sure I don't forget something.
