My plants in 2005

2006

Inside of the inflorescence I found 2 gnats, do they pollinate it?
That year it grew giant, it was 40 cm tall.
It started to form an infructescence.
It gradually began to turn red
The inflorescences ripen on the ground.
That year only one fruit ripened, the rest were empty.

In 2007 the infructescence was much larger and full of seeds.
In 2008 I had many new plants from these seeds.
