When I did the previous post on ramps (Ramps, Prized Onion of the Mountains) the links I found surprised me. I had never seen the seed heads. It must have been all the invading hostas that hid the ramp flowers and seed heads. I cleared out some hostas and finally saw them for myself. All these years I didn’t even know they were there!
This one came up in the cleared area. I was thrilled to finally see it.
Then I noticed these among the hosta leaves. No wonder I found ramps growing much further down the slope.
The green seeds are just beginning to form. The numerous seeds should produce a productive patch.
It’s exciting for me to finally see these shiny, blue-black seeds. This seed head will be harvested and sent to Missouri where my son and his wife want to try to grow them. Now I know for a fact that there are many others that will keep multiplying in my patch.
