My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Collecting seed?

18 years ago

I was wondering do you have to wiat till the seed pods are dry to collect them or can I cut the stalk and hang it upside down and let it finish drying? We have some canna's growing at work and I would like some of the seed but they are getting ready to cut off all the spent flowers.
