I think mine might be a slightly different variety as the others seen here, since mine is about 2-1/2 feet tall now and has thinner, more sparse leaves. I DO LOVE THIS PLANT!!

There are many green seed pods on this plant. I circled the darker, ripe one here.

I didn't realize I was given a pink blooming variety until I saw this ; )
