@threeicys - I learned by accident, too, and then it was so much fun to watch them pop. My husband thought I was nutz making a video, but heck, nature invents some really cool stuff, doesn't it? we're leaving the tropics soon, but I'm hoping we can grow some as indoor houseplants back home, we'll see how that turns out!

I have begun saving seeds and discovered by accident how the seed just pop/jump/shoot out! The kids and I had a fun time with this. You can never stop learning from plants. This is an awesome video!
