Description
My lovely chocolate vine produced its second seed pod in ten years! Quite an event. The first one was maybe three times bigger oblong and bright blue. Now I found this wonderful circular pod in beautiful soft lavender, already opened. Since the plant is invasive, I'm expecting to have this vine consume my house as soon as it expels all of these seeds. I'll keep my eye on it.

Marvelous focus and detail Nancy! Beautiful shot! Consumed by a Chocolate Vine plant, eh? : ) l/f!

I did take one shoot and move it down the window in the sun room and voila....another vine...and it is marching through the ivy and ground cover with long (and strong) tendrils. It's from Indonesia and listed as ....invasive!
