Hello from Santa Fe, NM desert paintbrush

Santa Fe, NM

Hi all, I just joined this forum. Am a relatively new southwest gardener. For the past three springs, have watched and learned and tried, succeeded and failed. Have lots of questions, but here is a started.

We have one little desert paintbrush that is growing wild -- appearing in different parts of the natural part of our property. Yesterday i collected what i think might be seed pods from it (see attached photos). When i break them open, there do appear to be seeds inside. (again see attached). are these seeds? Any advice for propigating the desert paintbrush? Sorry the photo is a bit blurry. I could not get it any sharper. Thanks for any ideas.
