JATROPHA PODAGRICA

Now what is this?

It's one of the plants I fell in love in Taiwan. Saw it in pots in front of houses (I'd say on sidewalks, but in most parts these were missing - space is scarce!) and also directly planted in parks.

I loved its cute thick stem/root, delicate flowers. And well, I too some seeds back home with me.

Here is what I have:

 Flowers aren't really that showy. They are not big, not boasting a nice design, not fragrant, but still they look nice and delicate.







And I have had a few pods with several seeds inside

 


And today I got the first 3 seeds I am gonna plant them real soon!

 

Wish me luck!
