  • Question

    Good morning, These seeds were found in flower bed containing daylillies, evening primrose and doronicum; not able to identify. Can you help? Thank you.

    Answer

    Dear planttogo, good morning. The seeds look like those from genera such as Lilium (lily) and Iris (iris). These groups frequently have flatted seeds that occur stacked upon one another in each chamber of the capsule. If you have lilies or irises planted nearby, it may be from those. Best wishes.
