It is about time to collect them. They take a while to dry on the plant.

Oh my gosh. I wouldn't have guessed it would have taken this long. Thanks for the info.

If you find a dried black bouquet , and dig down into them they have moisture and green in the seed husk for quit a long time. Interesting plant. Thanks for reminding me. I am working hard but I will try to get myself around the hill to check on them.

Wish I had a dried bouquet, but in all my dried flowers I've received, I've never seen anything like those. But, isn't that a good filler in an arrangement. Thanks for that idea.
