I've harvested 3 zinnia blossoms so far for seeds.  The triple bloom red zinnia is starting to brown and I'm going to watch it carefully in the hope that is will produce red blooms.  I know it's only 4 chances in 20 but I can hope.

Look, I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen, but it does happen...RZ

You all are doing great on your seeds.  I lost my snapdragons this year thanks to some overexcited watering by the kids.  They flooded the container I had those seeds drying inside.  I tossed them into a container and I hope they will sprout next year for me at least.

I think I have Love In a Mist ready to go next.

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Finally the Orange Blackberry Lily seed pods are starting to ripen.  I got 4 pods off of it the other day.  Now I'll check it everyday until I have harvested them all.

I'm going to put them out with the ditch lilies and the chinese lanterns at the street.

I just harvested my 180th blackberry lily.  I'm not looking forward to getting the grass out of the ditch so I can plant these.  I may cut down the side of the bed I do out there this year and just use the extra seeds for the seed exchange.
