Wild Job's tear or wild coix seed 野意米




My few wild job's tear plants have grown big and produced most interesting and unusual greyish black shinny tear shaped seeds, very hard and more like beads.

This wild variety with the hard shell is hard to crack, as there is naturally a hole through the seed, it has been traditionally used as beads for decoration.

I will try to find the cultivated version to grow next time.
