Hi everyone. While I'm a pretty experienced gardener, I'm not super experienced with harvesting seeds. That said, it's always been SUPER easy for me to get seeds from my Love in a Mist. The flower heads turn a light paper-y brown, and become very dry....almost rigid...and you can simply 'pop' the flower heads and tons of little round black seeds come tumbling out, every time.

With my Great Blue Lobelia, I tried removing/deadheading the flowers once they were spent. But...should I be waiting a bit longer? Is there something else I should be seeing as far as the spent flower head's appearance, before removing it from the stem? I have a table full of spent/dead GBL flower heads, and even after trying to pull some of them apart, way down to the tiny 'bulb' part, I'm not seeing or feeling anything come out, and that feels like a DRY, HARD seed...

Thanks!
