I'm really glad you suggested that. I *never* would have considered
collecting seeds from that local road-side patch of blue-eyed grass for the
SIGNA exchange, which is a shame, really because I'm always getting on
everyone else's case to do it! Based on what I saw, I imagine I could get
50~100 seeds. I'll go back this weekend, they should be ripe by
then. Mine had tiny flowers... probably 1/4" across, or so. It was really
a stroke of luck that I noticed them at all.

why didn't I think of that before?!
