Seed pods - good or bad?

Susan, if you want to see what you get from the seed pods, leave them on
until they dry up, watch closely and get them just as they begin to split or look
like they will tomorrow. The plants that you get will of course not be like
the parent plant but a hybrid of whatever the bees pollinated for you, maybe
good maybe not. To keep the same plants, which you hopefully have named and
know what they are, you must use the rhizome or clone of the plant to plant more
of the same. You can, of course, save the seed and also divide up the
rhizomes thereby getting more of the same plant and planting the seed to see what you
do get in about 3 years.
