#balloonflower and it's little bud! #septembergarden2017

💙💙💙

Finally found the seeds in my balloon flowers...all these from just 3 little pods!!!! #seedsaving

Great Work. Job well done 👍

These are great seed producers! Just make sure to let them dry very well, because for me, they always seem to have like a milky, sticky substance on them

Good job!

Thanks y'all! I'm so excited over seeds!!! My peps think I'm addicted to flowers and collecting seeds...so it's so great to connect with like minded folks that are just as crazy about their flowers and seeds as me😀 @cyndi @gauravsh6 @bpetty55 @jennlamaye

There are much worse things in this world that we could be addicted to, @drea0508 . I figure as long as my addictions are Starbucks and gardening, I'm doin alright! 😚

That's what I say...flowers and coffee...at least I'm not addicted to alcohol anymore!!!! @bpetty55

@drea0508 I totally relate. I just can't help myself! I couldn't even go through the car wash yesterday without exclaiming "seeds". Hubby told me to jump out and grab them. 😉

That's awesome...you sound like me...lol @jennlamaye

Having trouble with this one too, don't think I'm letting them get brown enough yet or something...any ideas how to save this seed @cyndi I think I remember you having these too...do you collect seeds from them @jennlamaye

The ones I've seen are completely dry, you just tip the little pod over into a cup, and viola, seeds! (That's if it is the same type of seed pod I'm thinking of...)

Thank y'all very helpful. Im being impatient...wasn't letting them dry out...going to check on them in a little while!!! @cyndi @jennlamaye
