Plant the seeds now, I don't know if they will get big enough to bloom next year but sometimes even very small seedllings of money plant will flower come springtime. You can wait until winter or spring and they will sprout fine then, but theres no chance they will bloom that year and they'll just sit there taking up space till next spring. They won't get the variegation until next year but they should seed true as long as there aren't any plain green ones nearby to cross with.

I have the basil growing in dirt, really well - in a planter attached to a rain barrel. It's worked for 2 years. When I pop the brown pod open...tiny white - what looks like seeds are inside

Maria I water root the mandevilla cuttings with an air stone, a drop of Superthrive and bottom heat. I have ok results, not great, about 50%. There's some good big nurseries like Behnke, Johnson's and Meadow's Farm. I'm not familiar with the nurseries in Baltimore. I'm in Montgomery County. There's a small nursery that I love near my house in the Ashton area. I go there all the time. The owner is a Vietnamese gentleman and he specializes in Bonsai and water gardens but he carries a number of tropical and subtropical plants that can't be found elsewhere. He also has a good selection of plants native to the Orient and a fair amount of citrus. I can't believe that I don't know the name considering I go there at least 3x/mo lol I'll stop by and email you the name if you'd like. You should check out the Mid-Atlantic forum here. There's a post or two with nursery recommendations in the area. Karyn

Is it left over from last season? Maybe from an inflo that you kept on it during dormancy? That sounds like its possible... I have a seed pod on my J-105 from last year and it just " there" without any leaves as of now.. It will take another few months for it to mature. They say it takes around nine months for the pd to ripen... Leave it.. It not hurting anything.. It would be nice to see a pic of this pod. Sometimes they do pop up, but its usually after the flowers have been pollinated .. So lets see a pic and then we can determine what going on!! Have a great day!! Laura Sorry it's sideways.. That's just the way my day has Been going.. Ok. So trying to fix the other pic which was much clearer, I erased it from my iPad.. Ugh.. So I went outside bending over tons of plants to get this for you...lol It's not great,, but you get the idea..,
