Julie –
Healthy viable plants, this year once the flowers died back I pruned back to give the other plants some successn. They were too pretty to compost so put a bundle of the tops in the greenhouse. Three days later they had imploded. Something caught my eye – kinda luminescent. What a wonder it was seeing the seeds everywhere, just like a dandelion. Each seed has it’s own propeller. Love it!
