Lonny, I have no tree. The SF Arboretum has both the yellow and the red. In fact I took the picture of the flannel bush flower there too. I do believe they sell them at times during their sales.

I think the seeds are fine too, very fresh. I was told by
Dr. Don Mahoney, the Strybing Horticulture Manager that those seeds need to be planted right away and to not store them or they won't germinate. They were picked off the tree, not from the ground. They were starting a bunch there to sell just a few weeks ago.

Someone on Dave's really wanted them so I gathered some from the ground a few months back but I think they would have been too old. And my DH tossed the little seed bag I had them in before I could send them off. I was thrilled to be able to get fresh ones for the Daver. I bet he gave up on me. I usually send the stuff but always so late. Ask Alice. LOL

I have never noticed such blobs before Alice. Tells you how not observant I am. LOL

This pic is a bit creepy I think as the hand starts to reach out. LOL
