Wow, and closing them with tape won't make them either & fall off, that's amazing too. Prolly takes 2-3 months to form a seed pod. I've never seen a seed pod on a brug as I've grown mine in the ground here & they just barely get to bloom and it frosts here. This year, they are going in pots and I'm going to try some of this cool stuff. Do they make only one seed per pod or are there several in a pod? I'm just full of questions, but I've only seen blooms on mine, then they freeze till next spring.
