There will be about 4 seams running from tip to tip on the pod. Over a plate, take you thumb nail and split open these seams. Inside each seam you will find a double "track" holding 2 lines of seeds.

After you have harvested the seeds, leave them in a cup or on the plate for a day or so to be sure they are dry, then they should be ready to store.

My Fireball is a rooted cutting and doing very well, but I am sure it will be a while before it is ready to bloom.

If my Texas Star or Lord Baltimore put out any seed pods within reach of my memory, I will try to post some pictures when the pods a brown and "crispy". Sorry, I can't seem to get a clear picture this morning.

Hope this helps.
