They do not look like flowers. Just stake it, let it do its thing and
let it dry off, then strip the nodules and store in a cool dry place
until you want to plant more. Rub a pile of nodules in gloved hands and
broadcast.

Or just thrash a wire mesh with the dry plant beside the area you want
them in.

we try to collect one red, one yellow and one green each season. It just
grows feral along with the flat parsley, borage and occassionally the
curly parseley.
