Flowering seed pods????
Comments (3)Jim, I also have an orange double trop. hibiscus that I tried crossing with another hibiscus. Someone told me that doubles rarely produce seed pods because of an improperly formed style. The furthest I ever got with mine was a seed pod that would drop prematurely and inside were immature seeds. What was inside the seed pod on your plant after it split open? Were the seeds blackish and did they have a hard coating (were they mature)? Did the 2nd flower grow from where the seed pod was? Not sure what you meant. By the way, my orange double has great pollen and I have about 30 seedlings that came from crosses with it and a variety with single flowers. The single plant is a great pod parent. Good luck!...See MoreSeed Pods on lillies open with loads of black seeds
Comments (6)With black seeds, I think they are daylilies, Hemerocallis. If the leaves grow from the base and not on the stalk they are daylilies. I just started some daylily seeds the same way (floating) and have potted up 3 seedlings. I can't help you on seed storage. If you post this on the daylily forum there are a lot of people there that grow from seed and they can help you....See MoreSeeds pods on lillies open and loads of black seeds....
Comments (5)I know them by the name "blackberry lily," so named because of the seed cluster shape. Belamcanda chinensis. They reseed like crazy--no need to bring the seeds inside, just toss some right now into the place where you want them and they'll shoot up next spring. Each spring I pull out lots of them, so prolific are they. They don't need much care so we grow them in our summer place where they get watered on weekends, if ever. I like them very much.

Comments (14)Ok so as for now, I think I will leave the pods on the plumeria and loosely wrap some cheesecloth around them and see what happens. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to help with my other questions. Why the oddly shaped leaves, which you can see one in my picture above. Not every leaf, but more like 3-5 per plant. I read some info regarding leaf stress disorder, which if that is what mine is, it is a very mild case compared to the pictures I saw. Also when my tree blooms, it only gets four blooms at the most, which are replaced sparingly by a couple more once they are spent. And the flowers only last like two days before shriveling up. I realize I need to fertilize, which I don't. But I also read on this forum that there is a debate with success on both sides regarding repotting in the same pot after a root trim, and potting up. I have kept my plumerias in clay pots, which are now crumbling, and I am not sure what to do here. I live in a hot desert where the temps get up into the 120s and stay there. The black florist pots I have seen recommended on here I worry would get way too hot in the sun and cook my roots. Plus I tend to overwater during the summer months, which some argue is hard to do where I live. In addition, my plumerias are inside, and the one in the crumbling clay pot looks like it isn't going to go dormant. It has almost an inch of shiny new growth at the branch tips just from this past month and a half it has been inside. Would it be ok to repot now and then wait a couple weeks before fertilizing, or should I just wait for spring? Thanks all! Cassandra...See More
