These seeds came from a tree with a fuzzy gray pod that caught our eye.

The sign at the Desert Botanical Garden says it is from Africa…

Do you have any idea what it might be?

These little seeds are pretty tiny, so this one might not be quite fair.

So, here are some hints:  the plants are common in the Southwest.

At least some kinds are about to flower right now. They have a stalk of bell-like flowers that are often shades of pink or red. Hummingbirds love them.

Any idea which plant might grow from these tiny seeds?

Our seeds this week come from a plant that does not grow in the Sonoran Desert, but it is a shade-loving perennial favorite elsewhere.

Probably not many people grow them from seeds, which are found in seed pods on the flowering stalks.

These large, black seeds will produce a new plant, however. Do you know what that plant might be?
