When the seeds ripen in late fall, the center becomes black.

After seed ripens in early summer, plants go dormant till the next spring.

The seeds ripen and are deposited 8 months of the year.

Once the flowers fade and the seedpods form, the seed inside ripens rapidly.

In August, seeds will be ripening on thousands of spent flowers.

Although the plants bloomed in profusion, the seed on the outside branches ripened first and had to be cut by hand.

The seeds ripen from late summer to fall.

Once the seeds have grown and ripened, the plant has to get them to somewhere that they will be happy growing.

Then it will form a generative shoot on which the seeds ripen five months later.

The seed is not central but slightly nearer the notch, and ripens in late May.
