looking good.

Do you think it'll produce seeds? has it been pollinated by anything?

Thanks
Last year's seeds were very small. I don't think it gets enough time to fully ripen. In zone 7 I'm just happy to get a flower.

Basjoo does produce seeds, it's just often easier to propagate from pups

Wow, that is a really great picture, so clear. I think you should also submit it to the garden editor of your local newspaper. (Chuckle-chuckle)

Very cool! Congrats on getting it to flower! I always liked the odd color Basjoo inflorescences have!
