... D. Capensis seeds? The flowers are long dead but the stalk does not seem to be dying.

Hi Adam

wait for the flower head ( which is now turned to a seed bank ) to turn totally black , when the seeds are ready to harvest you will know , for as soon as you touch the seed pod your finger will have little hairy seeds on them .
It shouldnt be long now before you have capensis everywhere

Can't wait! They've been doing a number on the local mosquito population. The more of them I have the better.

I'm actually really surprised by how many mosquitos my VFTs have captured...
