I harvested my first pods of showy milkweed seeds recently, and I'm hoping someone here will know of an easy way to remove the "fluff" from the seeds. I've stuck them in a bag and shook them half to death, and that got me nowhere! I'm sure that it wouldn't hurt to leave the fluff on them, but they look nicer with it removed. I've been picking the stuff off by hand, but that is taking forever. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
