    Post #8785603

    I'm trying to collect seeds from a huge old baptisia. Many pods are black and dry, some halfway there and some green. Of the dark ones, I'm finding some empty, either marauded (holes -- birds?) or ripened and gone. In the rest, the seeds range from dark brown to beige to pale, usually all the same color in each pod. In a few there's white fuzz.

    I think the fuzz must be mold, because we've just had record rains. But are the rest viable? Are the pale ones ok, just not dry?

    I'm sending them in a trade, want to make sure they're good.

    Thanks!

    Pam
