HI,

Does anyone recognize this seed or perhaps have any suggestions of what it might be?

The shape is consistent with some of my zinnia seeds, but not the black color.

Thanks but that's not it. I've never had that in my garden to collect seeds from.

Welcome, @Ohiodirtdigger Welcome!

I also thought the shape resembled zinnia seeds, but the color looked much darker. Hopefully more people will weigh in.

Thanks for the welcome!

They are definately black. I compared them to some of my Zinnia seeds and they just aren't the same.

They look a lot like Hosta seeds, do you have hostas in your yard?

Thinking, that's what they are, do you normally leave your flower stalks on?

I don't but that doesn't mean I didn't, lol. I'm not sure how old these seeds are since I didn't mark the bag.
