My Matelea cyclophylla beginning it’s flowering season. In the 21yrs I’ve cared for it, it has consistently flowered. I’ve managed to save and sprout the seeds 2x. The seed pods look like milkweed pods and flowers smell like rotten meat/garbage if you smell it up close. It attracts flies to pollinate as opposed to bees.

Gorgeous plants! You said you got seed pods twice, did it self pollinate? I just got a couple seedlings, but I haven’t found too much info on pollination and germination
Wow thats a big ole gnarly
