Well I could kick myself for not getting my seed ready in time to donate to the seed ex, but that wouldn't help anything, would it!  So if anyone would like anything from this list, send me an email.

Collecting ephedra seed

Submitted by paulhschneider on

I am getting red "berries" on my Ephedra minima. Does anyone have any info on the best time to harvest them for seed collection? They have 2 black seed in each berry. I don't want to collect too soon (or too late)! Any help appreciated...      

Carlina acaulis seed

Submitted by Lori S. on

I finally thought to collect seed of Carlina acaulis yesterday, though too late, unfortunately, for the seedexes.  

It's a stunning plant, with flowers that last intact all through the winter.  Yanking the seeds out of the disc took quite a bit of effort -  they're so firmly in place that the spent flowers are always pristinely intact when they're finally cut off in spring (which, I realize now, explains why I've never yet found a seedling, after growing a couple of plants for many years).
