We may have a winner! See http://voices.gardenweb.com/garden_voice..., about 40% down the page. The comment about the brevity of the blossom matches what I saw from this plant.
Interesting! That looks a lot closer. The stamen pattern is a lot bushier in that Flickr shot. It would be interesting to know where the picture was taken.
Hmm... maybe, though! The seeds are shaped right, that kind of uneven round, flat seed.
ValB.Salares, thanks for the input. Just from a quick Google/Wikipedia, I doubt it. The leaves that you can see in these photos show the complex shape, compared to the spade-like shape I saw on Wikipedia.
And not in these pictures is the mature seed pod itself. There was no fruit. The pod dried to a husk with probably five chambers full of the seeds. I saved a couple pods, and if I find them, I'll post pictures.
But, for real, it's a cool-looking plant.
Maybe they will. They'd have to be way more into this than I am- this entry is already at least 11 screens deep from the front page, and I wouldn't have clicked even that far if I didn't know I had something buried down in there.
