Here's my horizontal seed pod, on a 1c plant. It's the most determinedly pendant seedling I have, the pedicel hasn't moved at all but the pod has. What's the prognosis?

While we're looking at differences in pods, here are some from 'Tiger Babies'. I try every year to get viable seed. It's very happy to set pods but almost always they are all chaff. I had a couple seeds germinate one year but the seedlings were weak and died very young. Well this year I smothered a bunch of plants with different tetra asiatic pollens and have quite a few pods. Many look good and fat (ha - they usually look good and fat!) like this:

Never occurred to me before but now I realise they are basically horizontal... well, banana-zontal. Except these few. They are fatter and ...near vertical! Could there finally be some good seeds inside?
