Anyone have photos of cup & saucer vine seed pods or seeds?
Hi Jody,
The cobaea Scandens seeds are sort of flat & roundish. Nothing like a MG seed. They are also about the size of a dime.
Here is a pic I found online:

Hope that helps,
Donna
Donna, Thanks a bunch. I'll keep looking for seeds. Jody
JodyC....I have quite a few cup and saucer vines growing around my place...and can detect no seeds anywhere! The petals of the flower look like the seeds that I planted..but...there is nothing to them when they dry. I heard or read somewhere..that these flowers have to be pollinated by bats...to set seed. How true that is..I don't really know...but I do know that I haven't found ANY seed on mine...and I probably have 7-8 separate vines...very healthy...and STILL blooming ...even in our cool weather!
Thanks for the info on the bats. I'll have to look that up; sounds interesting. Thanks,Jody
At least you have flowers. I have a large happy C&S vine in a large pot, lots of growth, never a flower at all! I am in Z9.
srkrouse-want some of my cuttings? It will die here soon.
I have bats,maybe they didn't like the flowers.I had one who came to my vapor light every night all summer and ate my bugs.Wish he would have brought more friend with him.LOL.
I found this picture and info on this plant, it is also callec mexican Ivy Vine.
