I saw some flower formations and I thought it would be nice to show them to you. Within 1 week they will be real flowers. The leaves smell like espresso coffe (yum!).
I would like to see photos from your own P. harmalas.

Yes it's a bit difficult plant. It seems that Greece is the perfect place to grow this plant. I am very happy to try next year to grow P. harmalas on grownd.

Yes we have almost the same climate. They use it for spice in Turkey and also in India. This plant can be found in nature here in Greece but not as much as 2000 years before. Back then the climate was hotter.

Finaly they bloomed!
The scent is subtle, but sweet. Very common. The flowers are falling pretty easily and no seedpod is visible. Sould I do something?

I don't know what is the male and what is the female plant. I'll try figuring them. It all seems to me like the same.
except if their flowers are perfect ... that is they contain both male and female parts.
So I just have to pick any flower from one plant and rub it against any other from a different plant.

I kissed the flowers with eachother. Here is the resault :
You can see the green ball formations. These are the seeds. It seems that each flower will give 3-4 seeds.

How many seeds would you expect to get from a harvest per flower? Just wondering.

Tinkal, you are the f@#king man, congrats on the flowers, I know you don't agree with my methods, could you PM me with some tips on what you would do differently, I live in a hot arid climate. Pretty please, I hate to be giving bad info.

Well, after many years of experimentation, we decided to throw a handful of seeds near a deserted and dry place.
Fortunately, after 3 months when the summer ended, we found that the Syrian Rue project was a huge success! We found a lot o bushes that had flowers and seedpods. We even found seeds that had fallen to the ground!
These are the photos :

Great thread! And nice to see that people are getting fruit. I'd be interested to see some follow-ups (it's now 2009).
One point though. A few people have mentioned spreading seeds. I love this plant, and would love to see more of it around, but spreading the seeds in the wild or 'around town' is sadly irresponsible. It would be for any species, but as we know that P. harmala is a weed, this is especially bad. This plant has a high potential to go invasive, as it already has in part of the US and Australia, and threaten local populations of other wonderful plants.
Please don't spread seeds outside your garden.

My strategy for growing these things is going to be sowing them in some fast draining soil, watering, then leaving them out on my sweltering hot deck to bake in the sun until they grow into beautiful plants. Hopefully the ambient humidity near the surface of my deck will be low enough to suit them.

HEy i have sown about 30 p harmala seeds, but after they sprout, the grow less than an inch en than collapse. i tried everything, from lowering to increasing RV, lighting, draft, whatever. Also i see this is an old topic, so people that succesfully developed bushes and where able to harvest the seed pods, enlighten me and tell me im not a failure.. it's a genuine problem in wet and cold holland, but i have some hot exotic spots in my house, and i WILL get this done.. please, advise
