    You know it! I'm going to go back around Halloween.

    However, I was able to collect ~20 ripe seeds off of another one nearby.

    Mine didn't flower this year, I guess it was too dry. There's one flowering in town in someone's yard and I keep thinking I'm gonna go knock on their door and ask if I can have them, I forget, and then I remember when I get home. 🙄

    Ask a park ranger how they avoid white scale on those S.minors.
