Daniel, I love your photograph of this Embothrium coccineum seed pod which exemplifies your motto: In science, beauty. In beauty, science.

proportion and life?
Western Washington examples fruiting well this year.
I have two of these chilean fire bushes and by looking at your picture it is going to better help me know when to look for the seeds. I am trying to find out how and when to sow them. Would you happen to know? As of today in the middle of July and after flowering the seed pods are present. Thanks.
