My friend says hers hasn't stopped blooming yet and will let me know when the seeds are ready to be picked.

Thanks so much. My red ones just finished flowering & have about 8 seed pods that are green so the timing will probably be about the same. I'll contact you when my seeds turn brown & start splitting in a few weeks as a reminder since hers may be about ready, too. You & your friend are a "Blessing" to me & I'm "Thanking God" for you both, Trudy

I've got the red variety. So, I'll just ask her again to keep an eye open for them. I'm sure we have something we can trade.
