Thanks Ken,
I have waited too long to collect any this year. Maybe next year.
Thanks

I just had a look at some mock orange (Philadelphus)seed heads in a local park. The seeds are indeed tiny slivers about 1mm long and almost dust-like. So I think what you saw was seed. What makes you think you have left it too late?

BTW - if you want more mock orange it would be much quicker to take cuttings. They're very easy rooters. You can take hardwood cuttings of dormant wood right now.

Hi Flora uk, I was visiting my oldest daugther in Ga. I returned home in Oct., and the hard seed pods where opened up some. So I thought the seeds may have fallen out of the seed pod. I may send some to my daugthers, they can plant them just to see if any comes up..

How about trying some cuttings - then next time you visit you might be taking a growing baby shrub with you :)
