Picture of Ceratostigma plumbaginoides seeds?

Does anyone have a picture of Ceratostigma plumbaginoides seeds? I've got dried seed heads and don't know if any of the chaff should stay connected to the seed.

Thanks to a sympathetic and generous DG'er -- IOWHEN, who took the time and searched specifically to help me out, then supplied me with a link.

In case there is someone else looking for these seeds to harvest and share, here's the link:

This plant is a staple in almost every ones yard down here. I do think it is nice, but I don't go in for having the same plants that 10,000 others have...LOL Glad there was a picture of the seeds for you.

I haven't seen it growing in gardens around here, I love the way it performs and it's a perfect shot of true blue for my 'pink theme' garden. Plumbago also has nice fall color.

yep I love how the blues and pinks go so great together, add a small yellow iris and it all just pops.

Thank you, Robin! I have been trying to sort out the C. griffithii (sp?) for the Hog Wild Seed Exchange. They are quite "stickery"!

Thay look about the same and I did not know if I was sending seeds and chaff. (Probably!)

ooh, I need a small yellow iris...

oh, oh...and one of everything else too.

Evelyn, just think...if you send chaff, you can send to so many more people...more trades!
Perhaps fewer friends...scratch that.

I think it was seed and chaff that I sent, since I could not ID the seeds. I only sent them to two people.

Robin ~ What are you thinking???

I was thinking 'teasing' but maybe it came off as 'facetious' or just plain 'goofy'. I don't really recommend sending chaff...although, sometimes it's just unavoidable.

Robin ~ I did not think it was anything but teasing...it was just stressful at the time, trying to get those seeds packed and all.

Maybe I will just share packs of commercial seeds.

I was trying to offer something not seen anywhere else as I have never seen these seeds offered. I don't even know if they can be grown from seed or how long does it take?

I might even try starting these from seed to see if they are viable seeds. They were not hybrids, but maybe they are hard to start and usually sold by taking cuttings from the original plant.
