I took a little time at lunch to try the Ragweed seeds.  I think I waited too long.  They may have matured a little too much since late last week.  It seemed like they didn't have as much juice in them today as they did late last week.  Don't know what it will look like over time but here it is today.

Yup, I can see them. That's a nice color. Be interesting to see whether it fades.
