Oh Lynn! I love the red columbine!
They are so pretty!
Wow Shoe!! Looks like you have had a lot of different mater sammiches! What a great tip on how to dry the seeds. I put mine on paper towels, and many times I forget "why in the world would I leave a paper towel there?!?!" and toss them out.
Lin, I too go in spurts. I
try really hard to save them, because now I have plants I actually love, and want to spread them around, but sometimes I just plain forget, and whack them down.
I have actually had fun learning about seed heads, and the different ways of harvesting. Oh my Mountain Garland, I thought I was too late, the pods had broken open already. I decided to pull them up, and felt a seed hit my arm. Into the house I went, got a brown paper bag, plopped those old worn out plants in there, and shooooook the bag like crazy. Seeds galore.
