[Arisaema-l] Arisaema ringens seed pod question

[Charles Hunter]

Of my three mature Arisaema ringens plants that bloomed this year, two are
making pods that have a few large berries, but the rest looks like one of
those non-fertile pods that withers before the plant goes over. See attached
picture.

 

My third ringens had a non-fertile pod that has already withered. No pods on
any last year. 

 

I have not had pods like this before. Is it common? Am I likely to get
viable seed from the large berries, or will the whole pod likely just
wither?
