I just bought ten seeds from India for ten bucks off eBay. Sounds interesting.
Anyone grow these before? or try them for their supposed lucid dream properties?
I just want to frame a giant seed pod on my wall!!

But also let me know if they work

Hope the temps are ok for them traveling.

Have you ever heard of Jack-n-the bean stock? Be careful!

Thanks will post results. Our temps are not slated to drop below one celcius for over two weeks I hope they don't freeze along as they are not overnight in the mailbox.
Such large pods!

I wonder how much the vine will grow in one season and what the foliage is like.

Sounds like a very interesting thing that wasn't known to Castaneda: The species is employed in African traditional medicine to induce vivid dreams, believed to enable communication with the spirit world (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

How big will they get in one season in the ground?
