@admmad - Here are some photos of the "rotting" seed pods. I've never seen this happen before, but when I opened the pods, I could see some of the seed were rotting. What would cause this? Too much moisture? The plant is in an area that gets morning shade.

What it looked like when I opened the pod:

Some of the seeds were hard and some were squishy. All the seeds were black.

I think pulling the pod may have saved some of the seeds that likely would have rotted as well. I have the rest of the seeds drying to see if they indeed survive.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
