Harvesting Common Milkweed Seeds

Today I harvested Common milkweed seeds for next year. The plant produces seed pods which must hold dozens of seeds.

I watched a video of how to do this.

The video was pretty accurate. The fluff can stick to your hands though.

I only harvested 7 pods and this is the harvest, with one unopened pod on top. These seeds will now dry out for 3 days.
