Oh Boy! Planted Some Mystery Seeds.

So, I picked up some seed on my walk this morning. The long pod (and smaller seeds from it) is from a tree that looks very much like a Royal Poinciana. It could be a jacaranda or one of those yellow flower trees.

The two bean-shaped seeds are from another mystery plant. The darker bean still had its pod attached. I planted all of them...we'll see.

  1. I have a basket full of seeds. I used to know what they were, but I did not label them and now I am clueless. Maybe I should just plant them all and see what happens.

  3. Hi Danielle: the seeds in pods look like some sort of cassia. Jacaranda's are round and quite unique. If you post pic of the trees from which you collect pods your fellow bloggers could help you identify them.

  4. Hi the seed pods are from a Delonix Regia. I lived in the Canary Islands for some years and they are everywhere along the streets. Very strange seed pods, and very interesting. I have just recently moved back to the UK and have brought some seed pods back with me to hopefully germinate. Apparently you need to boil the seeds for a few minutes, or they could take up to 2-3 years to germinate on thier own. Tim
