    A surprise yesterday ... two of them Pinky and Anouk have developed seed pods, and noticed today that both Red ones have pods developing also.

    I don't want to sow the seeds but am delighted I have treated them well enough to produce. A coule have their second flush of flowers coming too.

      The Yellow one I got end of June has its second set off blooms and a seed pod. I have five with pods now but I don't plan on using the seeds ... I have enough to tend to as it is ...

          I love the stems of these plants, I think I like them better than the flowers ... I don't know why but I love plants with thick stems ! :heehee:
          The Baffa looks a nice place to relax @Victoria ...

              I like the thick caudex ones more than the thin/tall or arms/legs ones.
