@valleylynn, when these pods get dry they pop and some of their seeds are really shot a long distance. If you have a particular place you want them, you might gather some and scatter them. When we first moved here, there was a large drainage pipe running underneath part of our yard. Where the water came out I followed its path and put stones in what I call my creek. The picture I showed of the self sown hellebores somehow jumped the creek and are now on the other side.
