Thanks for the info.  What you have observed makes sense.  Seems to me that
seed development is a little late in the season (z5/6) --- I checked a
flower on a clump of Strictus, and the seed were visible, but still green
and just beginning to swell.  The seed stalk (for lack of a better word:
rachis?) is saw-toothed, and the seeds alternate in the notches.  I'll give
it a shot!

Thanks again,Rick Grazzini
