Something cool going on here

So I noticed something just the other day about the Pachypodium lamerei that overwinters in my living room...

Besides the fact that it's a really cool (and dangerous) feature here.

Something about the top caught my eye:

Complete leaf drop is normal, so that's not it. Look at the very top.

No, not that branch!

Yes, that one, but look higher.

There it is! Seed pods!

I wonder if they'll be able to ripen? I sure hope so, as growing one of these cool plants from seed would be so much fun!


And yes...

...I do have garden-themed shades in this room. :)
