Maybe a picture will help.

And here are the sowing recommendations from Prairie Moon, where I got the seed.
"For container growing: Excellent hosts (for many parasitic species) include low-growing grasses and sedges like Hairy Grama, Blue Grama, Buffalo Grass, Pennsylvania Sedge, Sweet Grass, and June Grass. With a knife make a 2" deep cut at the base of the host plant. Sow seed in the cut, making sure seed is not more than 1/8" deep. If host is transplanted at sowing time, the cut is not needed because damaged roots will be available for attachment by the parasite. You may also try sowing parasitic and host species seeds together at the same time."

Has anyone worked with Indian Paintbrush seed? When are they ripe?
