Easy flower to grow and get seeds from. Just don't know what it is. It just showed up.
When the flower falls off it leaves a seed that is green (you can see were they fell off)
If you leave them they fall off and start a new plant.
I wait till it turns black then take them from the plant.
What is it please?

Looks as though you're collecting a nice batch of seeds there Gizmo. I hope each one germinates well for you.

I have yellow and red ones. They are easy to grow. Hummingbirds like them. Dooley
