I have collected a few. Nicki of gold rush nursery gave me a tip that I also forgot to mention in this post: that is to nourish the mother plant so you get more viable seeds.<br /><br />I missed out a few other lovely seed pods - Calochortus alba is the most lovely, and I didn't get that picture in time for this post.Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-28567115443748568342012-05-22T15:48:12.217-07:002012-05-22T15:48:12.217-07:00Well, if you ever run short of Iris fernaldii seed...Well, if you ever run short of Iris fernaldii seeds, I have oodles! I collected them for 2 years running, but then filled the greenhouse with other starts! I might try this year though. My big 'score' for the season on seed has been our native Cynoglossum. They set a lot seed in the orchard this year, where the deer couldn't reach them. I'm looking forward to growing some and planting them somewhere intentional. I love the seep monkeyflower lanterns. Much more impressive than the sticky monkeyflower pods!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-74777458317239188872012-05-22T11:31:56.825-07:002012-05-22T11:31:56.825-07:00Good work!

I ended up purchasing nursery starts this year because I was so behind schedule.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450393891493020636noreply@blogger.com
