I'm very interested in your reply. I can't get a picture of the flower. Is it the funny looking little brownish like leaves that lay on each other? It's about 4 years old, I grew them from seeds and hoped it would have fruit. Do I use the paint brush on top of the leaves of under or both. I would love to have some fruit to eat, and seeds to plant.
