I used to occasionally miss getting the seeds from some of my plants that I really wanted. But I finally went and ordered a bunch of small organza drawstring pouch bags (for example: <http://amazon.com/gp/product/…>) which I put on seed pods that I want the seed from long before they ripen. They work very well for almost any kind of seed pod. They will even hold the seeds for a long time after they ripen, which means I don't worry about being out of town even for long trips. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena, California, USA - USDA Zone 10a Latitude 34°N, Altitude 1150 ft/350 m On Aug 26, 2014, at 10:04 AM, Jane McGary <janemcgary@earthlink.net> wrote: > Hi, Kathleen, > There is every chance that Acis valentina will produce seeds, but I don't know if I will be at home to catch them. The fall-blooming members of this genus ripen their seeds very quickly (fall Prospero, aka Scilla, do also), and I am going to be out of town Sept. 20-Oct. 5. I'll keep a sharp watch. However, when I move them there may be offsets too. >
