This probably is the most erotic post I will ever post on my blog. A couple of months ago, I noticed this plant is blooming crazy.

I couldn’t help to notice the shape of the flower buds, I wonder what they resemble of, some more closer look of them follows.

Once the flowering passes, there is a long string left, then it starts drying out.

Frankly, the flower itself is honestly boring, but its bud really is amusing. I don’t know the name of this plant, so I decided to call it “purple dick,” although only the top part — aka head, that is dick head — is purple, actually it’s more like violet color, but “purple” goes better with “dick” if I intend to go that way.

It is going mental, so I decided to trim out all the branches without flowers, and once all seeds are collected, I will be pulling all of them off. There is already a small seedling, it will continue to erect. I meant grow.

I already saved some seeds are dry. You can see a dry pod and one is opened, how seeds sit inside. So far from I can see, there could be one, two, or three seeds in one pod. I don’t know why the color of coating varies this much, almost from black to white.

You can see the pod forking out, in fact, it pops. Nature is intriguing, not only the bud gets erotic shape, the way it spreads the seeds is a burst. As I tried to open it, I found simply giving the pod a few squeezes around the head (I am not joking), I meant the top, then if you don’t embrace the bottom part, the pod pops open with great force just like seen in picture above. The seeds are thrown out about a meter away.

I haven’t see it happening in the nature, the weather was not so great, raining on and off, but enough to allow the pods to dry. If it continued to be sunny everyday, I think I would see every seed pod popped open, and seeds every where. But it’s not even gonna happen in the future, it’s winter.
