Hello,

I went to a botanical garden a few months ago, and when I got home I realized that this pod hitched a ride with me home on my sweater.... after about 15 minutes I finally was able to get it off of me.. lol It has taken me several months to find out what plant this seed pod belongs to, and after alot of searching I finally found out that it is a Uncarina Grandidieri, now the next step is to figure out how to get the seed out of the pod and germinate it. I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advise on how to do this? If anyone has done this themselves or knows where I may find this information. I can find plenty of info on propagating from a stem of a exsisting plant, but nothing from the pod itself, and if it only has one seed that means I only have one chance. I live in a cold climate so this would be done indoors and the plant would be kept indoors...
thanks so much for any help....
