"Murphy",
I have been looking for pictures of something that I thought it might be...
I have something very similar, but not as bright pink, mine is a very pale pink and white..
If it's as hardy as mine is, the
seeds will germinate right in that area, if any fell to the ground...
And mine is just a plain ole
weed. But I love it, I like to pick it with my other
flowers as an accent piece in the bouquet!!!
I have searched alot, I don't know the name of my
weed, but like I said the similarity's between the two are very much alike..
The hollow stem, redish hue to it, the shape of the leaves, and the shape of the
flower, just a different color or brighter color I should say, and the
seeds, that are black and shiney..
I will keep looking...
And let me know if you were able to see any
seeds on the bottom of the
plant...
?What I would do is...
Check the lower half for any
seeds...
Those are usually the ones' that mature first and more than likely survive any initial frosts......
If they're half green/half brown, snip way back to the main stem of the
plant and take that all...
And maybe hang it up by that stem... to finish drying....
And have you covered the
plant, it may just be granted enough time to ripen something for you, maybe????
Keep us posted!!!!!
