I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

I'll have to look for it where I live. Did you grow it from seed?

@kaigia yes from seed. You often find the seeds already germinated inside the pods! The part you eat is the "fluff" around the seeds. Some sites say the seeds are edible some say not. I haven't tried them.
