My Joe pye is covered with dried flowerheads, but I am wondering if the seeds might have "dispursed" and flown the coop already! I am on Long Island, zone 7.Anyone have any clues as to what to look for if I want to collect them? I've cut off a bunch of bunches into a paper bag, but I am not sure what to do next. Are seeds very tiny? I am mostly seeing "fluff" but maybe some tiny hard parts that look like seed. I am an experienced gardner but new to seed collecting. Any hints? (maybe the big hint is a should have gotten there 3 weeks ago??? smile)Thanks for any help you can offer.

Wow, Seil so pretty... you're definitely ahead of us! I have some ambitious weeds growing. Vaporvac, glad you're safe and hope your soil dries out soon so you can go out and play in the garden. Jackie, same goes for your rain, hope the sun came back. Today it's sunny and in the 60s.

December in FL some years ago - holiday boat parade - parade was cancelled due to heavy fog - that's fog, not snow And @ eld - my WI cousins used to participate in a polar plunge in Lake Michigan to raise money for charity 😃

That's so odd about the bat. They are usually very gregarious and hang really close, even on top of each other.
