The listing, Texas Mountain Laurel Pods has ended.
Three pods- two seeds in each.
First photo is a stock photo. Second is the pods you are bidding on (I have a few set aside for listia auctiond- they may not look EXACTLY like those, as all pods are differently shaped). Last photo is what they look like in my garden!
These smell amazing, and have pretty blooms, however, they are slow growing and poisonous if ingested. It can be grown as a medium to large shrub or trained to a single or multi-trunk tree. The blooms resemble lavender or violet pea flowers with the scent of grape Kool Aid. The black, somewhat constricted seedpods contain red to red-orange seeds which are sometimes used in jewelry. In zones colder than Zone 8, flowering is not reliable because of late freezes which damage the buds. Texas mountain laurel is difficult to successfully transplant from the wild. Also, the seeds should be soaked or nicked to successfully germinate.
If you have any questions, just ask.
If bidding goes over 800 points, I will add another pod.
