Get the vacuum cleaner out to get rid of all that dust (the wind would blow it away in nature, anyhow). Then you'll see the flowers better! :grin:

You will not get any seeds off this one without cross-pollination to a different clone. It is just E. micromeris in the narrow sense that produces a mass of red seed pods without any help.
