This page from seabean.com covers it pretty well, including the uninteresting flower, which is what convinced me not to bother trying to grow it: http://www.seabean.com/guide/Mucuna_urens/ There are other Mucunas that have spectacular flowers, like Mucuna bennettii: http://www.hawaiiantropicalplants.com/PHOTOS/Mucuna_bennetti... Mucuna cyclocarpa: http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/Leu51/Vines/img_1929... and Mucuna nigricans: http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2009/01/27/plantattraction/... But, one seed of these can sell for $15.......... |
