Thanks for the insight. I will harvest the seed pods in the late summer, early fall. I will only take seeds from growing plants, knowing they are not treated. One year I found thousands growing next to a corn field in Idiana. They was a bonus.

Another year, I found hundreds growing outside the botany lab at Uconn. Double bonus for a college kid.

This year, my daughter decided to grow them in a patch of bad soil. The looked like they weren't gonna make it a month ago. I took over soil conditioning and fertilizer. I still have a bug problem. Borax doesn't seem to help all to well. I might switch to nicotine, but more bloom every day.

We have a lot of pollinators, so I expect flowers all summer. You can see the before and after. Pretty much same angle, different date.
