Easter Eggplant, Easter Egg Plant

My son bought this in a Easter kit at a store and grew his from the seeds, he then gave me one of them and he kept the other. Both are d...Read Moreoing good here in Southern Wisconsin., however his plant developed the amazing eggs from the flowers, and mine grows the violet flowers, but his turns into the yellow eggs, he has about 20 of them as it does grow pretty big and fast, mine is almost as big as his but mine grows only the violet flowers and then they drop off, but no eggs. Please don't laugh at me, but is it possible they could be a male and female plant, my plant looks just as healthy as his but again his grows the eggs and mine does not, so he gave me his and yes, I can get eggs from his plant, as already have 4, but mine just has flowers that dry up and drop off. Please let me know if that is a possiblity. Thanks

Could someone send me some seeds i would love to try them.

This is the first year I ever heard of this plant, having found it via Dave's Garden, so I ordered some seeds (from ...Read Morenaleeseeds.com/" target="_dgnew"rel="nofollow">http://www.onaleeseeds.com/) and started them indoors. I'm a novice at starting seeds indoors, so the fact that they survived that part well said much about their stamina. I gave a couple of plants away and kept several in planters on my deck. They recently seriously started producing the 'eggs' and I am just so fascinated by them! My boss, who taught me a great deal about gardening, had never seen one, so I gave her one that she kept in her office. Even though it got plenty of sun, no eggs have appeared on it. I traded her with one from home, that does have eggs on it, and will take the 'inside' plant home to put outside. It needs a LOT of water when kept outside in the direct sun, but I LOVE THIS PLANT! I'm hoping I can gather seeds and grow new ones for next year.

I started growing this plant from a seed on my birthday february 26th of 2002. The seedlings did exceptionally well. I took the strongest...Read More and let it grow in a greenhouse type effect. Then I left it in the window for some hours of sun but not full sun.I gave it ounces of water each day in the morning. it grew steady in foliage. leaf by leaf. Then after a period its heighth gained just a bit. I waited until it was about five or six inches and transplanted it to a bigger pot, for which it had no problem adjusting. I traveled to Denver from Alabama with it. There I watered it daily in a window. and then after a month or so I put it out in full sun, It grew much more in heighth and grew more leaves and bloomed. I am not certain what happened, I had to leave for a month or so and the person in charge said it wilted and had to cut the leaves and foliage off. When I got it, it was a strong sturdy branch but not any foliage I have been giving it full sun, daily water and it has grew an inch or so in heighth is chalk full of leaves and has around fifteen beautiful lavender buds. It is the easiest plant I have had yet.:) and beautiful. It is sixteen inchs.
