Seed Pods - fertile?

9 years ago

This plant sits inside my screened lanai. We did have some upper screens blown out for a while, but I feel like the chance of pollination by insects is slim. This is the second time I have had seed pods on the plant. A couple of years ago the pods were only about 1-2 inches long, total length of both. No seeds, tho. This year they are a bigger.

When I first measured -

And today one side was opened -

The pod was firmly attached and didn't want to come off -

You can actually see the seeds here -

And here's the seeds -

So . . . I've never seen seeds before. Does this look right? I thought the seed pods would be larger. Could they be fertile from wind? I did have 3 different plants in bloom at the same time, but they weren't sitting next to each other. (in re to the wind)

I assume I need to remove the ends to try planting them. I just wasn't sure if these look like mature seeds.

Thanks!
