Today I took it down to offer it some water, and now there are downy seeds all over my bedroom (I guess I should be grateful that I'm single).<br><br>To conclude:<br><br>Some of the flowers must have been pollinated while the plant was hanging in the garden last summer.<br><br>The seedpods must have looked somewhat like the leaves of the plant, and in retrospect I have been a little worried since some of the “leaves” looked yellowish, but since it was just here and there and didn't seem to affect the whole plant, I wasn't too worried.<br><br>Turns out the yellow “leaves” were actually seedpods that have now burts open and revealed lots and lots of seeds — each attached to something that looks like eiderdown. They fly at even the faintest breeze. This is gonna be fun…<br><br>People who know me also know that now I have to try and sow those seeds to see if I can grow new plants from seeds.<br><br>Did my mom and dad fsck in a greenhouse, that early summerday back then? 🤔<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/apocynacea" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apocynacea</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/bloomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/hoya" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hoya</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a>
