Author Message   Bearrose1954  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 09:33 am:    Hello all. I have a wonderful purple blooming Pasque Flower. I want to collect the seeds that it produces to share with others. I am not really sure how to go about it. Do any of you have any tips or guidance for me?

They won't be good if pulled off while green. Carol23 - Southeastern PA, Zone "6B"   Bearrose1954  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 10:01 am:    Thanks Carol. So when they get those fluffy heads and kind of start to dry out is the time? Should I put some little nylon netting bags on them so as not to have the seeds fall away onto the ground? I have some old panty hose m wife gave me to use for making alfalfa tea. I could make some little bags out of those. That would allow airflow and still collect the seeds. ???
