All done

I discovered a large patch of wild bat flowers on my recent trek up the mountains surrounding our hillstation. I'm thinking of going back to get some for our conservatory. What time should I harvest the plant for its seeds or rhizomes? . Oh! and yes , I'm from the north eastern part of India.

Wati, I am afraid I can't help with your question but I just want to say how amazing it would be to see a whole patch of wild bat flowers. How fortunate you are to be where they grow wild like that. It is interesting that they are growing in a mountainous area.
