I was out walking, and I saw this tree on the street, and I thought it was pretty.
So I took some seeds to see if I could get some to grow. As it turns out, those seed looking things are just pods, containing the seeds. When they’re ready, they puff out lots of tiny, tiny seeds. So you’ve got to catch those seeds before you plant them.
Now the seeds get planted.
Now I wait. Again. (Spoiler: nothing grew by July, but I don’t expect anything in winter. Spring is coming.)
