Hello,
I have been hoarding a supply of Entada gigas seeds. You may know this plant as the Monster Vine, Monkey Vine, or Ladder Vine. It has the largest seed pod of any legume, and the 3 inch seeds float for thousands of miles out of the Amazon, and ends up on Florida Beaches (And elsewhere.)
I'd love to learn more about this vine and how it is regarded by those living with it.
I also am going to attempt to grow one - but don't know if the seeds will grow.

(if any of you have found them on Florida's beaches, or in the local market, and if you tried growing them, let me know.) We know them as Sea Hearts, Sea Beans.
