Seed Pod dehisence

One day the pod looked great, the next day it burst open shedding seed (or chaff) all over the mother plant. That was Saturday. Sunday I moved plants from a friend's GH to mine so was unable to deal wiht the pod because - blankly - I had no idea what to do with it. I still don't know.



Monday (yesterday) I cut it from the mother plant, scraped up all the seed/chaff I could, put it in an envelope, and there it sits.



Now what? I think its been too long and the seeds have probably died by this time, doncha think?

No.

The seed, however, is likely quite contaminated, so if you can find someone to culture them, they will need to do some decent disinfecting first.
