Pod Promise Part 2

That's a seed pod from a Stephanotis floribunda in the post below. (Blogger wouldn't let me edit after I posted the photo via Picasa.) I've grown these seeds before. In fact, this very seed pod came from a plant, now huge, that I'd grown from seed about three years ago. That seed came from a pod off a plant I've had for about ten years, grown in a pot and moved with me into Casa Grande here in Fullerton eight years ago.

Stephanotis, or Madagascar Jasmine, is highly fragrant. The white waxy flowers grow in bunches and are commonly used in bridal bouquets.
