I have been checking almost even hour all day and the bud keeps opening more..but not fully opened yet, but hopefully I'll be able to get a picture by tomorrow of it opened all the way.
Michael...I have some extra seeds if you interested in trying to grow some of them..just let me know.

...I...left my plant light on while I was at school... the bottom and middle leaves on all 4 of the plants are drooping...only the leaves on the top are OK... the soil was VERY dried out, that's probably why, as I have never had a problem with the light being on all day when I was home.. the leaves weren't yellow though, just droopy... will they be all right?

Mark...A good watering should bring them back to where they were.
Ok..here is the flower bud today, I am not sure it will open any more then it is....But If it does open more then I will post another picture...There are 3 more buds forming on this plant.

Wow!! I can't believe that!!!! A lovely little flower all ready!!!!!I'm glad to see what I am looking forward to.
Now when the flower falls off, that is where the little egg forms?

Life has been a little crazy for me and now I am way behind on the wonder egg start over. As you all remember my first try didn't work out. I haven't tried again because I was either too busy to remember to buy a little pot and some better soil or I just didn't have the money. Finally today I was able to plant again. I also planted some basil seeds in another small pot. Wish me luck on these wonder egg seeds doing well. I wish I was as far along as the rest of you but, well, life happens I guess.

I have to totally restart, I've been plagued with dampning off and everything's dead. I threw out all the soil and containers and am starting a new! Three pots of wonderegg seeds with four seeds in each pot

My plant that has the bloom has at least three more buds and another bud that is close to blooming also, but my first plant to sprout has bit the dust & the last one to sprout has definite problems but is hanging in there even though it has lost a few leaves..It has a bud forming on it, so I am hopeful it may make it.
I'm glad that no one has given up!!!! It will work for you sooner or later...hopefully this will be the last try and it will be successful for you! Hang in there!!!!

It was hard getting a picture of it, I only had to take 8 pictures before one came out decent...the flowers all seem to point downwards, so you have to hold the camera underneath the flower and hope you got the shot and its clear. But anyway its a much better looking flower then the first one...This one opened fully and looks like a star.

It does...it looks great....i still cant post pics (gotta get my husband to look at the computer) but mine are coming along nicely...not as big as your's but look healthy.

Every day I see more buds forming, so to answer your question, it is like any other plant...It blooms and the flowers seem to last only a few days maybe a week at the most, but the flower is not the purpose of these...it is the fruit..the egg, which will contain the seeds when ripe. A plant with real looking eggs on it...and of course since the seeds are so hard to obtain and they are very expensive in my opinion..so if you get one to produce eggs and ripen you have seeds that you can trade with in the end and grow another one or two next year. I think this should be a yearly event for us to all grow these, this is alot of fun following each others progress!

They were just falling limp then dropping off..
They probably[ definately ] do need replanting.. I have 4 of them in a pot 6 inches long by 6 inches deep..
I have another pot the same size, I'll put two in each...

I think because you have soo many in a pot(4) that the roots are now too long and tangled Comfrey may have a better suggestion than I , can you see the roots at the bottom of the pot??
posted
Repotting may help...I waited too long and lost my first and biggest plant, because my pot became root bound. If it was me...I would only put one plant per pot and transplant all of them.
I did not see roots at the bottom, that is why I didn't repot..
But now I have a reason to
I also did not expect them to get so big..
Congrats on your 3rd bloom!

You ma remember my wonder eggs as smaller, and in the same pot, but I took everyone's advice and did my best in repotting them:
my smallest [i fixed the tilt]
my second smallest:
The 2 big ones together:
