Yeah, me too, Cindy.

Sequoiadendron4, That's so cool about the one in the rock crevice! Do you have any pictures?

I, also love to scatter the seeds. I don't even bother to collect them. I just take the dried pods and pour the seeds around the bed, then crunch the seed heads in my hand to get any remaining seeds.

This year was especially good for my Native Columbines (Aquilegia Canadensis). I started with only one plant about 4 years ago, but very few volunteers came up until this year when they were everywhere...yay! It's a hummingbird favorite because of the way the flowers hang down.
