How do I find MG seeds on the plant? I would like to grow some from seeds, but don't know what to look for.
HELP
Thanks

I don't know if I'm the best to answer... but when I harvest seeds I see where the spent bloom was and it starts to grow a seed pod that looks like a little balloon... mine always turn tan and brittle and then I harvest the seeds... that's probably not the best way because I know that I've lost seeds, but I don't know if they are still viable if you pick the pod too early... I've been lurking here for awhile and have learned a lot from these guys... I'm sure that somebody has a more efficient way...

The seedpods form on the same exct stem that the flower is on called the pedicel...

Thank you so much everyone. I'm finding most seeds are not what I expected and are not where I expected. Good thing I wasn't counting on getting a plant from all my seeds as they probably weren't even seeds
