Hi Mark! That is a seedling and all the plants I posted above came out of the same seed pod (A Samoan Fluff too)...so no...they wont be the same as the parent. We had some that were very close to the Samoan, and some that were very close to the Aztec that was the other parent...but no matter how much they look like the parent, you can not call them such. The only way you can have a Samoan Fluff is from a cutting off of a certified Samoan Fluff.

Also, that seed pod will take some time to mature...like next spring...so just leave it alone and wait until it opens on its own. I have seen people remove them so they can ripen and that just kills them...leave them on the plant.
They are fun to grow, but it take 3-5 years before they will bloom.That was the purpose of this thread was to show what you can get from seed pods...and that it can be worth the wait!
