| I have taken the big burr off the plant, peeled away all the prickles on the big burr, now I have a little cone left, my guess is the seeds are inside the con but how do you get them out. Any help would be appreciated |

| The "prickles" are the seeds. Hope you didn't just throw them on the ground. You'll have tons of coneflowers if you did. ~~Mimi |

| If you are talking about echinacea (rather than rudbeckia or ratibida) the white "dandruff" between the brown sharp points is the seed. They are white triangles. It's a very common mistake and one I made as a new seed gatherer. Do you need seed? At this time of year, the birds have harvested all of it, so you might have nothing. |
