when i got this the flowers were dead. then it rained and the fruits came out.
not even remotely flower related but pretty cool none the less. does anyone know when i can harvest the seeds?
Wait until the fruit starts to shrivel I would guess. This seems to be the time where the plant stops seed development IME.

look at the center. then you will see a mohawk of wool from the center. then wait a couple weeks for them.
if your patient, they will come.

thanks man. just got home right now and saw the seed pod on the dirt. it rained bad some days ago and it came off, obviously. so i just harvested about 7 seeds and i threw them with the rest of the babies.
hope it turns out well.
