Q.Does Anyone Know What This Is Growing Out Of Dessert Rose Plant?
We noticed this weird thing growing out of our dessert rose plant about a few weeks ago. But we don’t know what it could be. When searching online today, I saw something about seed pods. However, this thing doesn’t look like the seed pods I’ve seen online. Is it a seed pod or something else? Thank you

It looks like you have a seed pod forming. Lucky you! If you are going to plant the seeds, do it as soon as they mature because they need to be fresh to germinate well. Also, watch some videos on when to wrap the seedpods with elastic thread so they don't open and disperse before you can get the seeds.
