I suspect you are right. Other seeds pods that I have opened (poppy, columbine, etc) are usually green and don't do well. I will just bag and tag and wait. We have been having gully washer rain off and on for several days and that always worries me as the bags (organza though they are) can get wet and promote rotting of the seed pods. I try to catch it before then and just cut them stem off and bring it in to dry out.
