    I am watching the Hibiscus pods like a hawk, but when I think maybe tomorrow I can pick them , something beats me to them. Can I pick them on the green side or do they have to dry on plant? I also find some that are moldy. Maybe I need more pantyhose bags. Hubby says my plants looked diseased with all the bags. :D Mr. Green NOT. :D

    Were you able to harvest any? What type of hibiscus was it? I have a Lady Baltimore, and another that has large pods. They usually get very dry and open up almost like a flower, revealing the seeds inside.

    I have never heard of pods from the hibiscus. I learned something today. I'm always looking to find something new that I didn't know and that can become helpful. Thanks all!!
