canna seeds drying out before I can pick them

Question

Once my lilies bloom, I am left with a pond of seeds. They are not ready for pinking yet because they are still green, but when I go back to pick them after they trun a brown and black color, they are all dried out.

Answer 1

The seeds are at the perfect time to collect the seeds when they are dry and the seeds are black, just as you describe.
