I have been gathering the seeds from the dried mandavilla bloom. I have found the seed but as uncover the seed from the bloom, the seed seems to still be attached to the stem at the bottom . Is it OK to pull it out of the stem or what should I do. Am I doing something wrong? Is it because it is not dried enough or what, thanks for your help.

Is the seed pod brown? or are you trying to pick it green?

Brown
