Am hopping over here from the Butterflies and Hummie forum. Got a question for ya'll brug growers.

I have two varieties (not sure of the names though...one is solid white the other a peachy salmon color) growing in my yard and this is the first year I've noticed they have seed pods. Question is...when do I harvest the pods/seeds? The pods are still green...will they turn brown and fall off or pop open?

Here's a photo of one of the seed pods...and will follow with photos of the blooms.

ps...there are several pods on the peachy salmon plant and more on the white one. Looks like I'll be having plenty of brug seeds soon enough??? If anyone is interested in seeds let me know when I can harvest them and I'll be happy to share.
