It seems they are small and make up a small portion of the flowerhead. Clear on one end and a little darker towards the seedhead. Quote \| Reply \| Report

They do like alot of mulch. It's raining here today but maybe tomorrow I will see if I can find some seed. I ordered them from a mail order company and they were so small when I got them. I babied and smothered them with attention ( and compost tea ). They turned out georgeous. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I'm not a seed-planter, but I wondered why you can't just plant seeds in their "fluff". Isn't that how nature does it? Quote \| Reply \| Report
