You're not the first person to inquire about them. I only had the one packet and it was from 2016. I thought about making a couple of smaller packets out of the one before I listed it, but since they are older seed and don't germinate as well as fresh seed I left it as is.
I guess I totally neglected to harvest any at all this year. I think I always forget because it blooms in late April to early May and then sets seed gradually before it goes dormant for summer. I am not in "seed harvesting mode" then, and am mostly trying to plant stuff out.
It's kind of like borage too where the stem is still green and inside a droopy green opening there will be one black ripe seed surrounded by several still green ones. The ripe one drops before more ripen, so you can't just wait until they are all ripe and shake it out. I might try bagging a bunch of the heads together next year to catch seed as it falls. The stems are quite delicate though too and any rough handling or high winds tends to damage them before the seed can develop.
The good news is that once you have one good plant it does self-seed a bit and they germinate really well that way on bare ground when they're fresh seed. One year when I wintersowed some dried seeds I wasn't patient enough and dumped the container in the compost bin. Luckily, I recognized the seedlings when they popped up growing in my raspberry patch where I had later spread the compost. I haven't tried to transplant them since that might be tricky. It's a good source for seed even if it does look a little weird!
it's very understandable. I can look at the list and not necessarily recognize seeds I have. I've found a few wishes and definitely would love to add seeds to anyone who might be wishing for something I have. But it would be very easy to overlook so I hope no one will take it personal if I do.
That cat is adorable!
