Good afternoon all: I am learning a great deal about lilies I never knew existed, and their beauty from this email list. However, this is a question about finding a small machine that will remove seeds from very tough Penstemon seed pods. I have spent a couple of years using a pliers or a needle-nosed pliars to mash the pods, but I saw somewhere that you can buy a seed mill that will do the same. I gather thousands of these pods from large plants, and am especially interested in propagating the Barrett's Penstemons, of which I now have 19 plants. But it's taken me a year to finally deal with all the seeds I got last year, and I have already started gathering this year's abundant crop of pods. I would rather get the seeds in the ground the year I obtain them. I also have various lilies that I'm propagating (Chocolate lily and Columbia lily) along with Irises native to the Cascades, but these offer no difficulty in getting the seeds out of the pods by hand, and the other flowers I am getting seeds from would not be suitable to go through such a device. So it's basically what would help with the Penstemons. Thank you, in advance, Lesley Richardson _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
