Balkarji... I had collected some pods from my friend's garden in fall
of 2005 . since then they have gone back to England.. and sold.. so I
no longer have access to their garden.. dont even know if their plants
have survived the new Indian owners and their dogs... The seedpods I
left at rt for a month or so in  home, then stored in acid free
envelope  in an airtight plastic box... of course it has been
undergoing the heat then , normal, cold temp cycles since then... pods
are solid (not eaten away)   seem intact... many many years ago a
Patel family had taught me that if you save the seeds in their own pod
they will survive a long time.. how much long they could not say...
several years was their shoulder shrugging answer... i have about 6
pods.  am willing to send 3 to you if if want to take a chance and try
them out... but it will get cold very soon up north, do you have a hot
house?
