Well, seed pods are pretty normal on the non-variegated foetidissimas, so
that's really no big deal. But if you get seeds from your variegated ones
you must save them. Okay?
You don't by any chance have the cream/yellow/white seeded variety of
foetidissima do you?? That's something I keep hearing about in England,
but never seems to turn up in The States (except once in a SIGNA seed
exchange and I was too stupid to notice "fructo albo" meant white
fruit...d'ohhh!).
