This was a nice surprise that popped up in the potted maple tree that my aunt gave me...
I haven't a clue as to what it is, but it sure is a pretty surprise!

Thank you, G-mom!
Now I just have to figure out how to collect seeds from it. It sure is pretty...
Dianna
You need to collect them when they start turning brown. If you wait too long they "explode" and all of your seeds will be blown to the winds.
I got some seeds when we went camping last October. The plant that i got them from was 4ft wide and 5ft tall.
Thanks for the info, G-mom!
Guess I'd better move it out from under the deck, huh?
Dianna
What a sunshiney looking plant!
Lucky you - a beautiful bonus from your aunt!
Did this just start blooming - as an end of summer flower?
Yes, Lynne, it just started blooming. I didn't even know it was there until I was working in the yard yesterday and watering my potted plants.
Don't know if I will manage to get some seeds, but I will send you some if I do...
