Re: Persian Shield Flower

Just dawned on me [duh], Kitty, the flower spike is a dead ringer for the coleus flower spike. I guess that's why it was familiar. Coleus, incidentally, produce elongated football shaped seed pods that are maybe a half inch long.

Well, I had planned to cut the flowers off, but I'll keep some just for you
so we can find out. Since they are so easy from cuttings, I would never
think to start them from seed.

For some reason, Kitty, that's about what I thought it would look like.
If it sets seed, let us know.
