Sounds like that might be the case.

I received a message from another member of the group mentioning that
Euphorbias usually have 3 seeds in a pod. The "stray" Euphorbias (of
unknown variety) I dug up at my mom's house already have pods on them
that look like they would have 3 seeds in them. I haven't seen anything
like that on the Polychroma that I'm interested in, so maybe they're not
ready yet. I'll head back over to my sister's and "adorn" her Euphorbia.
Thanks,
Karen
