Hi tomerrol,

I've never grown blanket flowers from seed but I was able to find a photo of the seeds at http://www.theseedbasket.com/?attachment_id=1406

Hope this helps.

The look like little shuttlecocks. Squeeze the end of each one to be sure there is a ripe "egg" that is viable. If they're flat, you might not have a good seed. Also, the seed should easily come off the head if you flick it with your fingernail. The hairs are sharp and getting stuck gives me hives, so watch out.

HTH

thanks every one for the help. I now have bunches and bunches of those little seed!! Sure helps when I know what I'm looking for. But those tiny little petunia seed!! lawd, I never knew seed to be so tiny!
thanks again
Tom
