Torenia seeds

How do you harvest these seeds? I've never seen any.

Here's a pic I took today..Not very clear. But when the pod turns tan you can even see the seeds. They are very very tiny and golden color. If you look at the picture..all the gold dust you see are the seeds. The seeds are not dust though. They are perfectly round tiny balls. About 100 of them will fall out when you open the pod. Some will already be open when you pick them. Therefore the seeds will fall in your hand when you go to pick them. Every flower forms seeds after the flower is spent. Hope this helps!

Thanks Kim - that's exactly what I needed. I'll have to go seed searching tomorrow.
