hens and chicks poppy

I was trying to describe to rocketman in chat how some of the pods have these like bumps around them, and some are smooth and do not. Here are some pictures of what I was talking about:












See how those all have like that ring of bumps around them? Does that indicate a certain variety? You can see in that one picture, no bumpy ring on that middle one. You'll see in the next post too, most of those pics won't have those bumpy rings. Just curious.

Those 'little bumps' are because these are Hens and Chicks!

Those bumps ARE the chicks

As the petals fall after 3 days of blooming, the seed pods with "chicks" will grow much larger and can weigh over 4 ounces before drying. The seed pod and chicks are heavy with latex. Two weeks after the petals fall, the pods are fully developed and will begin to harden, turning a dark blue. At this time, the pod can be removed from the plant by cutting the thick stem as low on the plant as possible. It can then be hung to dry in the sun if weather permits or inside. Good air circulation is important to prevent mold.
