Collecting the seeds???

Let the seed pod dry on the plant as long as possible. It will form a cone, then the cone will turn brown & start to feel like paper. (If you get rain- go out & "milk" the pod to get the excess water out so the pod doesn't rot.) You can cut the pod off when it's really dry & hang it up-side- down to dry thoroughly. Don't expect your new seedlings to look anything like the parent you got them from.

Good advise re seed collection. Personally, I prefer to multiply with the tubers. ...get good strong plants quickly. I actually cut off the flowers so they don't drain the energy to be stored in the tuber. However, for a lot of plants you could try the seed method. But, as the plantlady says, don't expect the seedlings to look like the parent. Cross pollination may create some interesting forms.

Does anyone here have any left over seeds that they would love to share for postage and or trade.... or tubers would be awesome as well!
